[SD6-1-6947b and SD5-1-6191b; FRL-5279-4]

Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation

Plan for South Dakota; Revisions to the Air Pollution Control Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: In this document, the EPA is proposing approval of revisions

to the South Dakota State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the

State of South Dakota on November 12, 1993 and March 7, 1995. The

submittals included regulatory revisions to the State's definitions,

minor source construction and federally enforceable state operating

permit (FESOP) rules, source category emission limitations, sulfur

dioxide (SO2) rules, new source performance standards (NSPS), new

source review (NSR) requirements for new and modified major sources

impacting nonattainment areas, and enhanced monitoring and compliance

certification requirements. In the final rules section of this Federal

Register, the EPA is acting on the State's SIP submittals in a direct

final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views these

submittals 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 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a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 notice. Any parties

interested in commenting on this notice should do so at this time.

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

October 6, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Vicki Stamper, 8ART-

AP, at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents

relevant to this proposed rule are available for public inspection

during normal business hours at the following locations: Air Programs

Branch, Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th Street,

suite 500, Denver, Colorado 80202-2466; and South Dakota Department of

Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental

Regulation, Joe Foss Building, Pierre, South Dakota 57501.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vicki Stamper, 8ART-AP, Environmental

Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th Street, suite 500, Denver,

final rule of the same title which is located in the Rules Section of
