Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans Commonwealth of 
Kentucky: Approval of Revisions to the Kentucky State Implementation 
Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Commonwealth of 
Kentucky's State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted through the 
Kentucky Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet 
(KNREPC) on April 29, 1998. This revision adds a new

[[Page 12959]]

regulation 401 KAR 50:032, ``Prohibitory rule for hot mix asphalt 
plants,'' to establish an enforceable production limit for asphalt 
plants in Kentucky to limit their potential to emit.
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving Kentucky's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision 
amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for 
the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse 
comments are received in response to that rule, no further activity is 
contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse 
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 
comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on 
this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period 
on this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this document 
should do so at this time.

DATES: To be considered, comments must be received by April 10, 2000.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to Joey LeVasseur at the 
EPA, Region 4 Air Planning Branch, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, 
Georgia 30303.
    Copies of the state submittal are available at the following 
addresses for inspection during normal business hours:
    Environmental Protection Agency, Atlanta Federal Center, Region 4
