40 CFR Part 52

[KY-087-1-6957b; FRL-5290-6]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Kentucky

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Kentucky for the purpose of

establishing a Federally enforceable state operating permit (FESOP)

program, and to update the procedural rules governing the issuance of

air permits in Kentucky. In order to extend the Federal enforceability

of Kentucky's FESOP to hazardous air pollutants (HAP), EPA is also

proposing approval of Kentucky's FESOP regulations pursuant to section

112 of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA). In the Final Rules

Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State'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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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. 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 October 27, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Yolanda Adams, Air

Programs Branch, Air, Pesticides & Toxics Management Division, Region 4
