[EPA–R05–OAR–2008–0684; FRL–9215–3] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Ohio; 

Particulate Matter Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

a request submitted by the Ohio 

Environmental Protection Agency on 

August 22, 2008, to revise the Ohio 

State Implementation Plan under the 

Clean Air Act. The State has submitted 

revisions to twelve rules and rescinded 

one rule in Ohio Administrative Code 

(OAC) Chapter 3745–17, ‘‘Particulate 

Matter Standards.’’ The revisions were 

submitted by Ohio EPA to satisfy the 

State’s 5-year review requirements. The 

particulate matter (PM) standards 

contain the particulate emission control 

requirements that have been necessary 

to attain and maintain the 2006 National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards for PM 

in the State. 

EPA is proposing to approve the 

revisions to nine of the OAC 3745–17 

rules. EPA proposes approving only a 

portion of Rule 7, while not acting on 

the portion providing a partial 

exemption from opacity limits for a lime 

kiln in Woodville, Ohio. We are 

proposing to conditionally approve Rule 

11 based on a commitment by Ohio to 

address EPA’s concerns with the large 

item size exemptions. EPA is not acting 

on Rule 3, regarding opacity 

measurement methods. Lastly, EPA is 

proposing to approve the rescission of 

Rule 5 from the Ohio SIP.

or before November 26, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP submittal as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal 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 this rule, no 

further activity is contemplated. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of this rule and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule which is located 

in the Rules section of this Federal 

Register.
