ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R10-OAR-2016-0493: FRL-9953-03-Region 10]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Washington: 
General Regulations for Air Pollution Sources

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: In reviewing past State Implementation Plan (SIP) actions, the 
Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) and the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) discovered minor typographical errors related 
to the EPA's previous approvals of Chapter 173-400 Washington 
Administrative Code, General Regulations for Air Pollution Sources. The 
EPA is proposing to correct these errors. The proposed corrections make 
no substantive changes to the SIP and impose no new requirements. In 
the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving 
these corrections as a direct final rule without prior proposal because 
the Agency views this as a noncontroversial action 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 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 31, 2016.

or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For further information, please see the

that is located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this 
Federal Register. Please note that if the EPA receives adverse comment 
on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that 
provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, the EPA may 
adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of 
an adverse comment.
