ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[MI45-01-7240b; FRL-5545-3]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Michigan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: In this action, EPA proposes to approve the State's request to

redesignate the Wayne County, Michigan, particulate matter

nonattainment area to attainment. The State Implementation Plan (SIP)

submittal is complete and satisfies the redesignation requirements

specified in the Clean Air Act. In the final rules section of this

Federal Register, EPA is approving the 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 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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. The

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 action must be received by September

4, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to: Carlton T. Nash, Chief,

Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), USEPA

Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604-3590.
