Approval of Maintenance Plan and Designation of Areas for Air

Quality Planning Purposes; Ohio

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The USEPA proposes to approve the ozone State Implementation

Plan (SIP) revision and redesignation requests submitted by the State

of Ohio for the purpose of redesignating Preble, Columbiana, and

Jefferson Counties to attainment for ozone. In the Final Rules Section

of this Federal Register, USEPA 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 that direct final rule no further activity is contemplated in

relation to this proposed rule. If USEPA 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received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 USEPA will not institute a second comment period on this

document.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before

October 21, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: William MacDowell,

Chief, Regulatory Development Section, Air Enforcement Branch (AE-17J),

United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West

Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

Copies of the State submittal and USEPA's analysis of it are

available for inspection at: Regulation Development Section, Air

Enforcement Branch (AE-17J), United States Environmental Protection

Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
