[AR-2-2-5972b; FRL-5954-3]

Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated

Facilities and Pollutants Arkansas; Revisions of Regulations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to approve a recodification and revisions

of the regulations for the Arkansas Plan for Designated Facilities and

Pollutants (111(d) Plan) under section 111(d) of the Federal Clean Air

Act. In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, EPA

is approving this revision to the Arkansas 111(d) Plan as a direct

final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a

noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comments. The

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 EPA

receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and

all public comments received during the 30-day comment period set forth

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

proposed rule. Any parties interested in commenting on this action

should do so at this time.

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

April 9, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr.

Thomas H. Diggs, Chief, Planning Section, at the EPA Region 6 office
