ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 81

[Docket OR-01-004b; FRL-7018-4]


Finding of Attainment for PM-10; Lakeview, Oregon, PM-10 
Nonattainment Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to determine that the Lakeview nonattainment 
area in Oregon has attained the National Ambient Air Quality Standard 
(NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less 
than, or equal to a nominal ten micrometers (PM-10) as of December 31, 
1999.
    In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
publishing its determination as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
determination 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 on or before August 27, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to, Steven K. Body, 
(OAQ-107), Office of Air Quality, at the EPA Regional Office listed 
below.
