40 CFR Part 52

[SIP NO. SD-001-0012b; FRL-7216-2]


Approval of an Air Quality Implementation Plan Revision; South 
Dakota; Rapid City Street Sanding Regulations To Protect the National 
Ambient Air Quality Standards for PM-10

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to approve a State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of South 
Dakota for the purpose of establishing street sanding, deicing and 
maintenance rules for Rapid City, South Dakota. In the ``Rules and 
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving 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

rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing on or before July 10, 2002.
