Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation

Plan; Utah; Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State implementation plan (SIP)

revision submitted by the State of Utah with a letter dated November

20, 1996. The submittal included the State adoption of a new rule,

R307-18-1, which incorporates by reference the Federal new source

performance standards (NSPS) in 40 CFR part 60, as in effect on March

12, 1996.

In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is acting

on 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

EPA's 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 and the direct final rule will become

effective. 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be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a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 document should do so at this time.

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

June 6, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Vicki

Stamper, 8P2-A, at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the

State's submittal and documents relevant to this proposed rule are

available for inspection during normal business hours at the following

locations: Air Program, Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII,
