ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[KY-069-6105b; FRL-5089-5]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designation

of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Commonwealth of Kentucky

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State implementation plan

(SIP) revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Kentucky through the

Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet approving the

redesignation to attainment and maintenance plan of the Owensboro and

Edmonson County areas because they meet the maintenance plan and

redesignation requirements. EPA also proposes to approve the 1990

baseline emissions inventory of the two areas. In the final rules

section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the

Commonwealth'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 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and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 at this time.

DATES: To be considered, comments must be received by December 5, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Scott

Southwick, at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the

documents relative to this action 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.
