ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[MI26-01-6294A; FRL-5029-1]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plan; Michigan

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency proposes to

grant an exemption from the oxides of nitrogen (NOX) requirements

to the State of Michigan. These requirements include adopting and

implementing regulations addressing general conformity, transportation

conformity, inspection and maintenance, reasonably available control

technology, and new source review. In the Final Rules Section of this

Federal Register, EPA is granting the State's exemption request, 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 and the direct

final rule will become effective. 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received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. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this

notice. Any parties interested in commenting on this notice should do

so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received by August 25,

1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to: Carlton T. Nash, Chief,

Regulation Development Section, Air Toxics and Radiation Branch (AT-

18J), EPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois

60604-3590.
