ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[OR59-7274b, OR60-7275b; FRL-5696-7]

Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: Oregon

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan

(SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Oregon for the purpose of

approving two source-specific Reasonably Available Control Technology

(RACT) volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions standards: Cascade

General, Inc., a ship repair yard in Portland, Oregon; and, White

Consolidated, Inc. (doing business as Schrock Cabinet Co.) a wood

cabinet manufacturing facility in Hillsboro, Oregon. These SIP

revisions are required by the Clean Air Act (CAA) and were submitted by

the State. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, the EPA

is approving the State's SIP revisions 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 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and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 action.

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

April 7, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Montel Livingston,

Environmental Protection Specialist (OAQ-107), Office of Air Quality,

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 visiting day.
