ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 58

[Docket  ID-04-003b; FRL-7801-7]


Changing the Ozone Monitoring Season in Idaho From April Through 
October to May Through September

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Currently the ozone monitoring season for Idaho is April 
through October. Based on the ozone monitoring season in adjacent 
states with similar climatology, and analysis of existing ozone 
monitoring data collected in Boise, EPA is proposing to change the 
ozone monitoring season for Idaho to the months of May through 
September.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
September 29, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Keith A. Rose, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Office of Air, Waste and Toxics (OAQ-107), EPA 
Region 10, 1200 Sixth Ave., Seattle Washington 98101. Comments may also 
be submitted electronically or through hand delivery/courier; please 
follow the detailed instructions in the Addresses section of the direct 
final rule which is located in the rules section of this Federal 
Register. To submit comments, please follow the detailed instructions 
described in the Direct Final Rule, SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section, 
Part I, General Information.
    Copies of the documents relevant to this action are available for 
public inspection between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday at 
the following office: United States Environmental Protection Agency, 
Region 10, Office of Air, Waste and Toxics, 1200 Sixth Ave., Seattle WA 
98101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Keith A. Rose, Office of Air, Waste 
and Toxics (OAQ-107), EPA Region 10, 1200 Sixth Ave., Seattle, WA 
98101, (206) 553-1949, or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules Section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is changing the ozone monitoring season in Idaho to May 
through September as a direct final rule without prior proposal because 
the Agency views the change in ozone monitoring season in Idaho as 
noncontroversial and anticipates 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 this proposed rule, no 
further activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 proposed rule. 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.
    For additional information see the direct final rule, of the same 
title, published in the rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: July 15, 2004.
Ron Kreizenbeck,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 10.
