ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[OR-03-004b and ID-03-001b; FRL-7487-3]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD); Idaho and Oregon

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing amendments to the State implementation 
plans (SIPS) for Idaho and Oregon concerning the PSD program mandated 
by part C of title I of the Clean Air Act (hereinafter CAA or Act). The 
amendments clarify that the newly published provisions of the Federal 
PSD rule are incorporated into the applicable implementation plans for 
Indian Country in Idaho and Oregon. The amendments also clarify that 
the newly published provisions of the Federal PSD rule are incorporated 
into the applicable implementation plan for other sources in Idaho that 
were permitted under the Federal PSD program prior to August 22, 1986, 
the effective date of EPA's approval of Idaho's PSD program as part of 
the Idaho SIP.

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

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Connie Robinson, 
EPA, Office of Air Quality (OAQ-107), 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, 
Washington 98101.
    Copies of the information supporting this action are available for 
inspection during normal business hours at the following location: EPA, 
Office of Air Quality (OAQ-107), 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, Washington

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Connie Robinson, (206) 553-1086.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal 
Register, the EPA is approving these amendments as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial action and anticipates no adverse comments. If no 
adverse comments are received in response to this action, no further 
activity is contemplated.
    If the 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 proposed rule. The EPA will not 
institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting 
on this action should do so at this time. Please note that if we 
receive adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this 
rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the 
rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not 
the subject of an adverse comment.
    For additional information, see the Direct Final rule which is 
located in the Rules section of this Federal Register.
