ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[ID2-1-5552b; FRL-5012-9]

Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: Idaho

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 Idaho for the purpose of

bringing about the attainment of the national ambient air quality

standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter

less than or equal to a nominal 10 micrometers (PM-10). The SIP

revision was submitted by the State to satisfy certain Federal Clean

Air Act requirements for an acceptable moderate nonattainment area PM-

10 SIP for Pinehurst, Idaho. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 document. Any

parties interested in commenting on this document should do so by

September 26, 1994.

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

September 26, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Montel Livingston,

Environmental Protection Specialist (AT-082), Air Programs 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 at least 24 hours before the visiting day.
