Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation
Plan for North Dakota; Revisions to the Air Pollution Control Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State implementation plan (SIP)
revisions submitted by the State of North Dakota with letters dated
June 26, 1990, June 30, 1992, and April 29, 1994. The revisions address
air pollution control rules regarding general provisions; emissions of
particulate matter and organic compounds; new source performance
standards (NSPS); national emission standards for hazardous air
pollutants (NESHAPs); construction and operating permit programs;
prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) of air quality; and
control of emissions from oil and gas well production facilities. The
April 29, 1994 submittal also addressed the following two issues which
will be acted on in separate documents: Revisions to the PSD rules with
respect to PM10 increments; and revisions to the visibility
monitoring chapter of the SIP. Further, EPA is proposing to approve the
State's construction permit and federally enforceable State operating
permit (FESOP) programs under section 112(l) of the amended Clean Air
Act (Act) for the purposes of creating federally enforceable permit
conditions for sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).
In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is acting
on the State's SIP revisions 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
EPA's actions 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 and the direct final rule will become
effective. 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be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a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. EPA will not
institute a second comment period on this action. 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
September 20, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Amy
Platt, 8ART-AP, at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the
State's submittal and documents relevant to this proposed rule are
available for inspection during normal business hours at the following
locations: Air Programs Branch, Environmental Protection Agency, Region
VIII, 999 18th Street, suite 500, Denver, Colorado 80202-2405; and
North Dakota State Department of Health and Consolidated Laboratories,
Environmental Health Section, 1200 Missouri Avenue, Bismarck, North
Dakota, 58502-5520.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy Platt, Environmental Protection
Agency, (303) 293-1769.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the Direct
Final action which is located in the Rules Section of this Federal
Register.

Dated: July 14, 1995.
