40 CFR Part 52

[MI80-01-7289b, FRL-7443-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Michigan; Excess Emissions During Startup, Shutdown or Malfunction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve several rule revisions for 
incorporation into Michigan's State Implementation Plan (SIP). The 
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) submitted these 
revisions to EPA on September 23, 2002. They include rules to address 
excess emissions occurring during startup, shutdown or malfunction, as 
well as revisions to related definitions. 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 March 26, 2003.

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,
