[ID5-2-7075b; FRL-5664-9]

Clean Air Act Promulgation of Reclassification of PM-10

Nonattainment Areas in Idaho

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action identifies those nonattainment areas in the State

of Idaho which have failed to attain the National Ambient Air Quality

Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter

of less than or equal to ten micrometers (PM-10) by the applicable

attainment date of December 31, 1995. This action also proposes to

grant a second one-year extension to the attainment date for the Power-

Bannock Counties PM-10 nonattainment in Idaho. In the Final Rules

Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is granting this extension as

a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views

this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments. A

detailed rationale for granting the extension 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in

a subsequent final rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment

period on this action.

DATES: Comments on this proposal must be received in writing by January

17, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to

Montel Livingston, SIP Manager, Environmental Protection Agency, Office

of Air Quality, 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle Washington, 98101. Copies of

the documents relevant to this action are available for public

inspection during normal business hours at the same address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven K. Body, Office of Air Quality,

Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle,

Washington, 98101, 206/553-0782.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the Direct

Final action which is located in the Rules Section of this Federal

Register.

Dated: December 5, 1996.

Regional Administrator.
