Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of Title V, Section 507,

Small Business Stationary Source Technical and Environmental Compliance

Assistance Program for Louisiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan

(SIP) revision submitted by the State of Louisiana for the purpose of

establishing a Small Business Stationary Source Technical and

Environmental Compliance Assistance Program. The SIP revision was

submitted by the State to satisfy the Federal mandate, found in the

Clean Air Act (CAA), to ensure that small businesses have access to the

technical assistance and regulatory information necessary to comply

with the CAA. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the

EPA is approving theState'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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and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. Any parties interested in commenting on

this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by

July 25, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr.

Thomas Diggs, Chief (6T-AP), Planning Section, at the EPA Regional

Office listed below. Copies of the documents relevant to this proposed

rule are available for public inspection during normal business hours

at the following locations. The interested persons wanting to examine

these documents should make an appointment with the appropriate office
