40 CFR Part 52

[Region II Docket No. NY29-1-187b; FRL-6193-4]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; New York

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: In this document, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is

proposing to correct the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the State

of New York regarding the State's general prohibition on air pollution

pursuant to section 110(k)(6) of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990.

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

approving the correction as a direct final rule without prior proposal

because EPA views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no

adverse comments. A detailed rationale for approving the correction is

set forth in the direct final rule. The direct final rule will become

effective without further notice unless the Agency receives relevant

adverse written comment on this rule. Should the Agency receive such

comment, it will publish a document informing the public that the

direct final rule did not take effect and such public comment received

will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed

rule. If no adverse comments are received, the direct final rule will

take effect on the date stated in that document and no further activity

will be taken on this proposed rule. EPA does not plan to institute a

second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in

commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 28, 1998.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: Ronald J. Borsellino,

Chief, Air Programs Branch, Environmental Protection Agency, Region II

Office, 290 Broadway, New York, New York 10007-1866.
