ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[ID-01-01; FRL-6962-2]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: Idaho

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve 
revisions to Idaho's State Implementation Plan (SIP) relating to permit 
requirements for new major facilities or major modifications in the 
former PM-10 Northern Ada County nonattainment area. These revisions 
were submitted to EPA on February 9, 2001, by the Director of the Idaho 
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
    In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving the State's State Implementation Plan 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 May 17, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to: Donna Deneen (OAQ-107), Office of 
Air Quality, at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the 
State submittal are available at the following addresses for inspection 
during normal business hours. The interested persons wanting to examine 
these documents should make an appointment with the appropriate office 
at least 24 hours before the visiting day. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region 10, Office of Air Quality, 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, 
WA 98101. The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, 1420 North 
Hilton, Boise, Idaho 83706-1255.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Donna Deneen (OAQ-107), Office of 
Air Quality, EPA, 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101, (206) 553-6706.

Final rule which is located in the Rules section of this Federal 
Register.
