[FRL-5412-6]

Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; South
Dakota; Approval of Redesignation Request

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: In this document, the EPA is proposing to approve the State of
South Dakota's October 12, 1995 request to redesignate the ``Rest of
State'' area designated under section 107 of the Clean Air Act (Act),
which includes the entire State of South Dakota except the Rapid City
area, from unclassifiable to attainment for PM-10. In the final rules
section of this Federal Register, the EPA is acting on the State's
request in a direct final rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for the action 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, then 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 document. Any
parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this
time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by
March 7, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Vicki Stamper, 8ART-
AP, 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: Air Program,
Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite
500, Denver, Colorado 80202-2466; and South Dakota Department of
Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental
Regulation, Joe Foss Building, Pierre, South Dakota 57501.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vicki Stamper, 8ART-AP, Environmental
Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th Street, suite 500, Denver,
Colorado 80202-2466, (303) 312-6445.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the Direct
Final rule of the same title which is located in the Rules Section of
