[MO-015-1015(b); FRL-5682-6]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of

Missouri

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the Asarco Glover, Missouri, lead

emission control plan submitted by the state of Missouri on August 14,

1996. The plan was submitted by the state to satisfy certain

requirements under the Clean Air Act to reduce lead emissions

sufficient to bring the Liberty and Arcadia Townships into attainment

with the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for lead.

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

approving the plan as a direct final rule without prior proposal

because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision 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 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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 document. Any parties interested in commenting on this document

should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 4, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Josh Tapp, Environmental

Protection Agency, Air Branch, 726 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City,

Kansas 66101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Josh Tapp at (913) 551-7606.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct

final rule which is located in the rules section of the Federal

Register.

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401--7671q.

Dated: January 15, 1997.

Dennis Grams,

Regional Administrator.
