ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[MO 165-1165; FRL-7401-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of 
Kansas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the state of Kansas for the purpose of 
controlling volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from area sources 
in Johnson and Wyandotte Counties in the Kansas City, Kansas, area. 
This action also proposes to provide full approval of the revised 
maintenance plan and rescinds the prior conditional approval of the 
revised maintenance plan. In the final rules section of the Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP revision and providing full 
approval of the revised maintenance plan as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
revision/amendment and anticipates no relevant adverse comments to this 
action. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the 
direct final rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received in 
response to this action, no further activity is contemplated in 
relation to this action. If EPA receives relevant 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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 
action. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. 
Any parties interested in commenting on this action should 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 is 
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 on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
November 29, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Leland Daniels, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Air Planning and
