40 CFR Part 52

[AL-060-200320(b); FRL-7486-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans: Revisions to 
the Alabama State Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve miscellaneous revisions to the 
Alabama State Implementation Plan submitted on March 13, 2003, by the 
State of Alabama. The revisions include addition of rule of chapter 
335-3-1-.15 regarding emission inventory reporting requirements for 
stationary sources, revision of chapter 335-3-3 regarding removal, 
handling and disposal of asbestos-containing material, revision of 
chapter 335-3-8 to make minor technical corrections, and revision of 
chapter 335-3-17 to incorporate changes made to the Federal regulations 
regarding transportation conformity. In the Final Rules Section of this 
Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a 
direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this 
as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If no significant, material, and adverse comments are received in 
response to this rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA 
receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this 
document should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before May 27, 2003.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: Sean Lakeman; 
Regulatory Development Section; Air Planning Branch; Air, Pesticides 
and Toxics Management Division; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
