ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 81

[Docket ID-01-003; FRL-7042-6]


Finding of Attainment for PM-10; Shoshone County, City of 
Pinehurst and Pinehurst Expansion Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing a determination that the Shoshone County PM-
10 nonattainment areas (City of Pinehurst and Pinehurst Expansion Area) 
in Idaho have 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 September 24, 
2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Steven K. Body, 
Environmental Protection Specialist (OAQ-107), Office of Air Quality, 
at the EPA Regional Office listed below.
    Copies of air quality data and other relevent information 
supporting this action are available for inspection during normal 
business hours at the following location: EPA, Office of Air Quality 
(OAQ-107), 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven K. Body, EPA, Office of Air 
Quality (OAQ-107), Seattle, Washington, (206) 553-0782.
