[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 76 (Tuesday, April 21, 1998)] [Proposed Rules] [Page 19694] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-10400] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 52 [WA 66-7141a; FRL-5998-2] Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: Washington
Agency
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Action
Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve several minor revisions to the state of Washington Implementation Plan (SIP). Pursuant to section 110(a) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Director of the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) submitted a request to EPA dated December 30, 1997, to revise certain regulations of a local air pollution control agency, namely, the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency (PSAPCA). 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 revision amendment 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 If the EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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 on this action.
Dates
Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by May 21, 1998.
