ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Parts 63 and 68

[FRL-6466-5]


Approval and Promulgation of State Program Delegation; Ohio

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing approval of the State of Ohio's request for 
delegation of the Accidental Release Prevention Program under section 
112(r)(7) of the Clean Air Act.
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the State's request for delegation as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because EPA views this action as 
noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed 
rationale for approving the State's request is set forth in the direct 
final rule. The direct final rule will become effective without further 
notice unless EPA receives relevant adverse written comment. Should EPA 
receive such comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal informing the 
public that the direct final rule will not take effect and such public 
comment received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on 
the proposed rule. If no adverse written comments are received, the 
direct final rule will take effect on the date stated in that document, 
and no further action will be taken.
    EPA does not plan to institute a second comment period on this 
action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do 
so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before December 3, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be mailed to Mark J. Horwitz, Chief, 
Office of Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention, Superfund 
Division (SC-6J), Region 5, at the address listed below.
    Copies of the materials submitted by the Ohio Environmental 
Protection Agency may be examined during normal business hours at the
