ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[OR 62-7277b, OR 71-7286b, OR-01-001b; FRL -7018-1]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: Oregon

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revisions submitted by Lane Regional Air Pollution Authority (LRAPA), 
through Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ), for the 
purpose of improving the clarity, effectiveness, and enforceability of 
Oregon's SIP. The SIP revisions were submitted by the State to satisfy 
certain Federal Clean Air Act requirements under section 110. In the 
Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the 
State's SIP submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal 
because the Agency believes this as a noncontroversial SIP revision and 
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval 
is set forth in the direct final rule and in the technical support 
document. If no adverse comments are received in response to this 
action, no further activity is contemplated. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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. EPA will not institute a second comment period; 
therefore any party interested in commenting on this action should do 
so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received in writing on or before 
September 4, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Debra Suzuki, EPA, 
Office of Air Quality (OAQ-107), 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, Washington 
98101. Copies of the state submittals we are acting on in this action 
and other information supporting this action are available at the 
following addresses for inspection during normal business hours. Any 
interested person 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 (OAQ-107), 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98101; Oregon 
Department of Environmental Quality, 811 SW Sixth Avenue, Portland, 
Oregon 97204-1390; and Lane Regional Air Pollution Authority, 1010 Main 
Street, Springfield, Oregon 97477.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Debra Suzuki, EPA, Office of Air
