SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State implementation plan

(SIP) revision submitted by the State of Alabama through the Department

of Environmental Management on August 28, 1997, the State of Alabama

through the Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) submitted a

SIP submittal to revise the ADEM Administrative Code for the Air

Pollution Control Program. Revisions were made to Chapters 335-3-1,

335-3-3 and 335-3-6. In the final rules section of this Federal

Register, the EPA is approving the State of Alabama's SIP revision 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

that direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation

to this proposed rule. If 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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: To be considered, comments must be received by February 6, 1998.
