ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Parts 52 and 81

[Docket #OR-00-002b; FRL-7045-1]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans and 
Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes: Oregon

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve the 
revisions to Oregon's State Implementation Plan which were submitted on 
November 20, 2000. These revisions consist of the 1996 carbon monoxide 
periodic year emissions inventory for Klamath Falls, Oregon and the 
Klamath Falls carbon monoxide maintenance plan. EPA also proposes to 
approve Oregon's request for redesignation of Klamath Falls from 
nonattainment to attainment for carbon monoxide.
    In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 October 22, 
2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Connie Robinson, 
Office of Air Quality (OAQ-107), at the EPA Regional Office listed 
below.
    Copies of the State's request and other information supporting this 
action are available for inspection during normal business hours at the 
following locations: EPA, Office of Air Quality (OAQ-107), 1200 Sixth 
Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98101, and State of Oregon Department of
