SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On June 24,1980, the State of Nevada

submitted a revision to their Lead SIP

for Clark County. This revision provided

a county-wide plan for attainment and

maintenance of the Lead NAAQS. On

February 12,1981 (46 FR 12020) EPA

proposed to approve Clark County's

revision to the Nevada Lead SIP and on

June 30,1982 (47 FR 28374) the Clark

County portion of the Nevada Lead SIP

was approved. On November 5,1981 the

Governor of Nevada submitted a

revision to the SIP for Lead covering all

areas except Clark and Washoe

Counties. Actions approving this

revision were published on February 10,

1983 (48 FR 6105). On May 30,1984 the

Governor of Nevada submitted a

revision to the SIP for Lead covering

Washoe County. A public hearing was

held by th& State on April 26,1984.

Discussion

The May 30,1984, Washoe County

revision to the Nevada Lead SIP was

compared with the applicable

requirements of 40 CFR Part 51,

including emission inventory, control

strategy, modeling, and new source

review. Although the County has

developed a separate Lead plan, the

State maintains jurisdiction over certain

types of sources, including power plants

and all mobile sources. There are no

significant stationary sources of Lead

located in the County.

The Lead air quality data is taken

from a single total suspended particulate

(TSP) monitoring station located in the

City of Sparks. The air quality data

indicates that there have been no

violations of the Lead Standard since

1975. Although past monitoring efforts

have been hampered due to budget

constraints, the County intends to

commence analyzing TSP filters from

1982 onward for Lead and to establish

another monitoring station in Sparks.

The county has indicated, and EPA will

ensure, that these sites will be located

and operated according to the

requirements of 40 CFR Part 58. Once

these sites are established, a description

will be available at the EPA Region 9

office, the address of which is listed

above. Since automobile generated Lead

emissions are the only notable Lead

emission sources in Washoe County, the

evaluation contained in the SIP

submittal centers on these sources. The

County relies upon Federal regulations

which mandate the reduction of Lead in

gasoline to achieve and maintain the

Lead NAAQS. The SIP revision employs

a rollback analysis which demonstrates

maintenance of the Lead Standard.

Ne, Source Rewev

Presently there are no sources located

within Washoe County that emit 5 tons

or more of Lead per year. In order to

protect the County's attainment status,

Section 030.010 of their Air Pollution

Control Regulations was adopted. This

Section provides a preconstruction

review program for new sources,

including stationary sources of Lead

(regardless of size). The review program

ensures that no project will be approved

if it will result m violations of the Lead

Standard. The above SIP elements

satisfy the requirements of 40 CFR Part

51 for Lead.

EPA Actions

As a result of the above evaluation,

EPA is taking final action under Section

110 of the Clean Air Act to approve the

revision to the Nevada Lead SIP.

EPA's approval is being done without

prior proposal because the revisions are

noncontroversial, have limited impact

and no comments are anticipated. The

public should be advised that this action

will be effective 60 days from the date of

this Federal Register notice. However, if

notice is received vithin 30 days that

someone rashes to submit adverse

comments, the approval vil be

withdrawn and a subsequent notice will

be published.

The subsequent notice will

indefinitely postpone the effective date,

modify the final action to a proposed

action, and establish a comment period.

Under 5 U.S.C. 605(b], the

Administrator has certified that SIP

approvals do not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities. (See 46 FR

8709.) The Office of Management and

Budget has exempted this rule from the

requirements of Section 3 of Executive

Order 12291

Under Section 307(b)(1) of the Clean

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of

this action must be filed m the United

States Court of Appeals for the

appropriate circuit by August 28,1984.

This action may not be challenged later

in proceedings to enforce its

requirements. (See 307(b)(2).)

Incorporation by reference of the

State Implementation Plan for the State

of Nevada was approved by the Director

of the Federal Register on July 1,1982.

Authority: Sections 110 and 301(a) of the

Clean Air Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7410

and 7E21 (a)).
