Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of Title V, Section 507, Small Business Stationary Source Technical and Environmental Compliance Assistance Program for Arkansas

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan

(SIP) revision submitted by the State of Arkansas for the purpose of

establishing a Small Business Stationary Source Technical and

Environmental Compliance Assistance Program. The SIP revision was

submitted by the State to satisfy the Federal mandate, found in the

Clean Air Act (CAA), to ensure that small businesses have access to the

technical assistance and regulatory information necessary to comply

with the CAA. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the

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

this proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to

this rule. If the EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule

will be withdrawn, and all public comments received during the 30-day

comment period set forth below will be addressed in a subsequent final

rule based on this proposed rule. Any parties interested in commenting

on this action should do so at this time.

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

April 7, 1995. If no adverse comments are received, then the direct

final rule will be effective on May 8, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr.

Thomas Diggs, Chief (6T-AP), Planning Section, 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. The interested persons wanting to examine
