[Docket No. #WA-1-0001; FRL-6408-7]

Approval and Promulgation of State Plans For Designated

Facilities and Pollutants: Washington

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

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

submitted by the State of Washington on January 4, 1999. The State Plan

was submitted by Washington 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 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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.

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

August 30, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Catherine Woo,

Environmental Protection Specialist, at
