ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Parts 52 and 81

[Docket OR-84-7299b; FRL-6858-2]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; Oregon

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve the 
revisions to Oregon's State Implementation Plan which were submitted on 
November 10, 1999. These revisions consist of: Approval of the 1993 
carbon monoxide periodic emissions inventory for Grants Pass, Oregon; 
approval of the Grants Pass carbon monoxide maintenance plan; and 
redesignation of Grants Pass from nonattainment to attainment for 
carbon monoxide.
    In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
submittal 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 this action, no further 
activity is contemplated.
    If the 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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. Any parties interested in commenting 
on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received in writing by October 2, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Debra Suzuki, Office 
of Air Quality (OAQ-107), at the EPA Regional Office listed below.
    Copies of the State's request and other information supporting this 
action are available for inspection during normal business hours at the 
following locations: EPA, Office of Air Quality (OAQ-107), 1200 Sixth 
Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98101, and State of Oregon Department of
