Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation 
Plan; Utah; Revisions to Air Pollution Regulations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve two separate revisions to the 
State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Governor of Utah on 
June 17, 1998. The submittals repeal Utah's Air Conservation 
Regulations (UACR) R307-1-4.11 Regulation for the Control of Fluorides 
From Existing Plants and R307-2-28 Section XX, Committal SIP. In 
addition, the submittals revise R307-7 Exemption from Notice of Intent 
Requirements for Used Oil Fuel Burned for Energy Recovery. The intended 
effect of this action is to make federally enforceable those provisions 
of Utah's June 17, 1998 submittals that EPA is approving and to remove 
from the SIP those provisions that Utah has repealed. This action is 
being taken under section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, 
EPA is acting on the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial SIP revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the preamble to the 
direct final rule. If EPA receives no adverse comments, EPA will not 
take further action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse 
comments, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take 
effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule 
based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so 
at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an 
amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may 
be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those 
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing on or before June 19, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be mailed to Richard R. Long, Director, 
Air and Radiation Program, Mailcode 8P-AR, Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite 300, Denver, Colorado, 
80202. Copies of the documents relevant to this action are available 
for public inspection during normal business hours at the Air and 
Radiation Program, Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999

State documents relevant to this action are available for public 
inspection at the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of
