Small Business Stationary Source Technical and Environmental Compliance

Assistance Program for the State of South Dakota

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan

(SIP) revision submitted by the State of South Dakota for the purpose

of establishing a Small Business Stationary Source Technical and

Environmental Compliance Assistance Program (PROGRAM). The

implementation plan was submitted by the State to satisfy the Federal

mandate, found in section 507 of 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 the South

Dakota PROGRAM in a direct final rule without prior proposal because

the Agency views this submittal as noncontroversial 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, then the direct

final will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 at this

time.

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

November 25, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Laura Farris, 8ART-
