ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[DC 13-1-6552b; FRL-5177-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
District of Columbia; Disapproval of New Source Review Regulations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to disapprove a State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the District of Columbia pertaining to the 
regulation of major new and major modified sources locating in the 
District of Columbia. The intended effect of this action is to 
disapprove the District of Columbia regulations because they do not 
meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act. This action is being taken 
under section 110 of the Clean Air Act. In the Final Rules section of 
this Federal Register, EPA is disapproving the State's SIP revision as 
a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency has 
determined that the rationale to disapprove this SIP revision strongly 
supports that decision and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed 
rationale for the disapproval is set forth in the direct final rule and 
in the accompanying technical support document. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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. 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 must be received in writing by April 24, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to 
Marcia L. Spink, Associate Director, Air Programs (3AT00), U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 841 Chestnut Building, 
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107. Copies of the documents relevant to 
this action are available for public inspection during normal business 
hours at the Air, Radiation, and Toxics Division, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region III, 841 Chestnut Building, Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania 19107 and the District of Columbia Department of Consumer 
and Regulatory Affairs, 2100 Martin Luther King Ave, SE., Washington, 
DC 20020.
