Clean Air Act Promulgation of Reclassification of PM10

Nonattainment Areas--Connecticut; Approval of 1-Year Extension of

Attainment Date for New Haven

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing full approval of Connecticut's request for a

1-year extension of the attainment date for the New Haven PM10

nonattainment area. This action is based on monitored air quality data

for the national ambient air quality standard for PM10 during the years

1992-94. This action is being taken under the Clean Air Act. In the

Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the

Connecticut's extension request as a direct final rule without prior

proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision

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 does receive

adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 proposal. Any parties interested in commenting on this

proposal should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 11, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Susan Studlien, Acting Director,

Air, Pesticides and Toxics Management Division, EPA-New England, JFK

Federal Bldg (AAA), Boston, MA 02203-2211. Copies of Connecticut's

submittal and EPA's technical support document are available for public

inspection by appointment during normal business hours at the Air,

Pesticides and Toxics Management Division, EPA-New England, One
