County through three Federally

enforceable State operating permits.

In the final rules section of this

Federal Register, the USEPA is

publishing a full approval of the State’s

SIP revision request as a direct final rule

without prior proposal, because USEPA

comments. A detailed rationale for the

approval is set forth in the direct final

rule. If no adverse comments are

received in response to these actions, no

further activity is contemplated in

relation to this proposed rule.

If USEPA receives timely comments

adverse to or critical of the approval,

which have not been addressed by the

State or USEPA, 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will be withdrawn and all public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. Any parties interested in

commenting on this action should do so

at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule

must be received on or before June 5,

Clean Air Act Interim Approval of

Operating Permits Program; State of

Rhode Island

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes sourcecategory limited interim approval of the

Operating Permit Program submitted by

the State Rhode Island. Rhode Island’s

Operating Permit Program was

submitted for the purpose of complying

with Federal requirements which

mandate that states develop, and submit

to EPA, programs for issuing operating

permits for all major stationary sources

and to certain other sources. In the Final

Rules Section of this Federal Register,

EPA is promulgating source-category

limited interim approval of the Rhode

Island Operating Permit Program as a

direct final rule without prior proposal

because the Agency views this submittal

as noncontroversial 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 that direct final

rule, no further activity is contemplated

in relation to this proposed 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final rule will be withdrawn and all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 proposal. Any parties interested

in commenting on this proposal should

do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before June 5, 1996

ADDRESSES: Comments should be

addressed to Ida E. Gagnon, Air Permits,

CAP, U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, Region I, JFK Federal Building,

information relevant to this action are

available for inspection during normal

business hours at the following location:

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

Region 1, One Congress Street, 11th

floor, Boston, MA 02203.
