40 CFR Part 62

[Docket #OR-1-0001; FRL-5853-6]

Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated

Facilities and Pollutants: Oregon

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the Section 111(d)/129 State Plan

submitted by Oregon on December 31, 1996. The State Plan was submitted

by Oregon to satisfy certain Federal Clean Air Act requirements. In the

Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the

State's Plan submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal

because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and

anticipates that it will not receive any significant, material, and

adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in

the direct final rule and incorporated by reference herein. If no

significant, material, and adverse comments are received in response to

this proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to

this proposed 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 based on this proposed rule. The

EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.

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

August 11, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Catherine Woo,

Environmental Protection Specialist, 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. The interested persons wanting to examine these

documents should make an appointment with the appropriate office at

least 24 hours before the day of the visit.
