Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;

Utah; Emission Statement Regulation, Ozone Nonattainment Area

Designation, Definitions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing approval of the revision to the Utah State

Implementation Plan (SIP) that was submitted by the Governor of Utah on

November 12, 1993, for the purpose of implementing an emission

statement program for stationary sources within the Salt Lake and Davis

Counties (SLDC) ozone nonattainment area. The emission statement

inventory regulation, Utah Air

[[Page 20201]]

Conservation Regulation (UACR) R307-1-3.5.4., was submitted by the

State to satisfy the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended in 1990,

requirements for an emission statement program to be part of the SIP

for Utah. EPA's approval will serve to make the emission statement

inventory regulation federally enforceable. In addition, EPA is

proposing to approve other minor changes involving definitions in UACR

R307-1-1. and the ozone nonattainment area designation definition in

UACR R307-1-3.3.3.

In the 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 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 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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 action should

do so at this time.

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

June 5, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Richard R. Long,

Director, Air Program (8P2-A), United States Environmental Protection

Agency, Region 8, 999 18th Street, Suite 500, Denver, Colorado 80202-
