SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A notice

of proposed rulemaking and notice of

public hearing appearing in the Federal

Register on Friday, April 18, 1997 (62

FR 19072), announced that a public

hearing with respect to proposed

regulations relating to charitable

remainder trusts under section 664 and

special valuation rules for transfers of

interests in trusts under section 2702

would be held on Tuesday, September

9, 1997, beginning at 10 a.m. in the IRS

Auditorium, Internal Revenue Building,

1111 Constitution Avenue, NW.,

Washington, DC and that requests to

speak and outlines of oral comments

should be received by Tuesday, August

19, 1997.

Subsequent to this announcement, the

Service received a letter from the Los

Angeles County Bar Association

indicating that the Los Angeles area had

considerable interest in the proposed

regulations and requesting that the

hearing be teleconferenced to Los

Angeles. The Service will accommodate

that request. The Service recognizes that

other persons outside the Washington,

DC and Los Angeles areas may also wish

to testify through teleconferencing and

those persons should request to do so.

Requests to include other

teleconferencing sites must be received

by Friday, September 5, 1997. If the

Service receives sufficient indications of

interest to warrant teleconferencing to a

particular city and if the Service has

teleconferencing facilities in that city,

the Service will accommodate the

requests.

Accordingly, the public hearing

originally scheduled for September 9,

1997, is postponed until later in the Fall

and the time is extended for requesting

to speak and submitting written

comments. The Service will issue a

notice in the Federal Register

announcing a new date by which

requests to speak and written comments

must be received. The Service will also

announce the new date, time and any

additional teleconference sites of the

public hearing.

BILLING CODE 4830–01–P

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

40 CFR Parts 52 and 81

[TX60–1–7269; FRL–5870–2]

Approval and Promulgation of State

Implementation Plans; Texas;

Prevention of Significant Deterioration

(PSD) Increments for Particulate Matter

Less Than 10 Microns in Diameter

(PM–10); Designation of Areas for Air

Quality Planning Purposes

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve

revisions to the Texas State

Implementation Plan (SIP) addressing

PSD permitting regulations. The

purpose of this revision is to replace the

total suspended particulate (TSP) PSD

increments with increments for PM–10.

In conjunction with this proposal, EPA

is proposing to remove the TSP area

designation tables in 40 Code of Federal

Regulations part 81 for Texas. With the

PM–10 increments becoming effective

in Texas, the TSP area designations no

longer serve any useful purpose relative

to PSD. The EPA also proposes to

approve revisions to regulations of the

Texas Natural Resource Conservation

Commission submitted August 31, 1993;

the recodification of Chapter 116. In the

final rules section of this Federal

Register, EPA is approving the State’s

SIP revisions as 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 this proposed

rule, no further activity is contemplated

in relation to this 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 action. Any parties interested in

commenting on this action should do so

at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule

must be postmarked by September 18,

1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

action should be addressed to Ms. Jole

C. Luehrs, Chief, Air Permits Section

(6PD–R), at the EPA Region 6 office

listed below. Copies of documents

relevant to this action are available for

public inspection during normal

business hours at the following

locations. The interested persons

wanting to examine these documents

should make an appointment with the

appropriate office at least two working

days in advance.
