Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plan: Texas Emission Statement

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[TX-19-1-5736b; FRL-5029-5]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plan: Texas Emission

Statement

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action approves a revision to the Texas State

Implementation Plan (SIP) to include revisions to the Texas Air Control

Board, Part III, Chapter 101, General Rules, section 101.10, Emission

Inventory Requirements. These revisions are for the purpose of

implementing an emission statement program for stationary sources

within the ozone nonattainment areas. The implementation plan was

submitted by the State to satisfy the Federal requirements for an

emission statement program as part of the SIP for Texas.

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 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and all public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

September 26, 1994.

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

Thomas H. Diggs, Chief, Planning Section, at the EPA Regional Office

listed below. Copies of the documents relevant to this action are
