ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[WI119-01b; FRL-7657-7]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Wisconsin: 
Kewaunee County Ozone Maintenance Plan Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve a plan prepared by Wisconsin 
to maintain the one-hour national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) 
for ozone in the Kewaunee County maintenance area through the year 
2012. This revision is required by the Clean Air Act. The effect of 
this approval is to ensure Federal enforceability of the State air 
program plan and to maintain consistency between the State-adopted plan 
and the approved State Implementation Plan (SIP). In the final rules 
section of this Federal Register, we are approving the SIP revision as 
a direct final rule without prior proposal, because we view this as a 
noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipate no adverse comments. 
A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to the direct 
final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this 
proposed rule. If we receive 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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. We will not 
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before June 9, 2004.
    Comments may also be submitted electronically or through hand 
delivery/courier. Please follow the detailed instructions described in 
part(I)(B)(1)(i) through (iii) of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section 
of the related direct final rule which is published in the Rules 
section of this Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to: J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief, 
Criteria Pollutants Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), EPA Region 
5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604-3590.
