[Docket No. AK-01-003a; FRL-6986-5]


Clean Air Act Attainment Extension for the Fairbanks North Star 
Borough Carbon Monoxide Nonattainment Area: Alaska

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: We propose to grant the one (1) year attainment date extension 
request for the Fairbanks North Star Borough carbon monoxide (CO) 
nonattainment area submitted by the State of Alaska on March 29, 2001. 
In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, we are approving 
the State's extension request as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because we view this as a noncontroversial action and 
anticipate 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 in relation to this rule. If we receive 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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments 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. We will not 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 on this proposed rule must be received on or 
before June 25, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Connie Robinson, 
EPA, Region 10, Office of Air Quality (OAQ-107), 1200 Sixth Avenue, 
Seattle, WA 98101. Copies of documents relevant to this action are 
available for public review during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 
4:30 p.m.) at this same address.

Office of Air Quality, (OAQ-107), 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101,
