reasonable costs of acting on permit

applications, and of implementing and

enforcing the terms and conditions of

permits. According to 40 CFR 51.6(c), a

state plan may be revised to be

consistent with requirements applicable

to implementation plans. The Louisiana

Environmental Control Commission Fee

System revisions met all applicable

requirements contained in the

aforementioned criteria. Therefore,,

based on this review, EPA is approving

the revisions.

this Federal Register notice. However, if

notice is received within 30 days that

critical comments, this action will be

withdrawn and two subsequent notices

will be published before the effective

date. One notice will withdraw the final

action and another will begin a new

rulemaking by announcing a proposal of

the action and establishing a comment

period.

Under Section 307(b)(1) of the Act,

petitions for judicial review of this

action must be filed in the United States

Court of Appeals for the appropriate

circuit by July 2,1984. This action may

not be challenged later in proceedings to

enforce its requirements. (See Section
