ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[MI78-01-7287b, FRL-7226-7]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Michigan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve several rule revisions and rescissions for incorporation into 
Michigan's State Implementation Plan (SIP). The Michigan Department of 
Environmental Quality (MDEQ) submitted these revisions on July 7, 2000 
and supplemented them with letters dated January 29, 2001, and February 
6, 2002. They include revisions to definitions, open burning rules, 
general volatile organic compound (VOC) provisions, and administrative 
procedures, and the rescission of two obsolete rules. In the Final 
Rules 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 revision and anticipates no 
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in 
the direct final rule. If we receive no adverse comments in response to 
that direct final rule, we plan to take no further action in relation 
to this proposed rule. If we receive significant adverse comments, in 
writing, which we have not addressed, we will withdraw the direct final 
rule and address all public comments received in a subsequent final 
rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second 
comment period on this document.

DATES: EPA must receive written comments on or before July 29, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to: Carlton Nash, Chief, Regulation 
Development Section, Air Programs Branch, (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago,
