ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[OH16–3–7264b; FRL–5439–5]

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans; Ohio

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The United States

Environmental Protection Agency

(USEPA) proposes to approve a State

revision to the Ohio sulfur dioxide State

Implementation Plan (SO2 SIP),

submitted on October 16, 1991, and

supplemented on March 17, 1993. This

revision revises the SO2 emission

limitations applicable to Hamilton

County. The SIP revision was

conditionally approved on August 23,

1994 (59 FR 43287), and the condition

has been satisfied.

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

views this action as a noncontroversial

revision 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 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will be withdrawn and all public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 14,

1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief,

Regulation Development Section, Air

Programs Branch (AR–18J), United

States Environmental Protection

Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson

Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

Copies of the State submittal and

USEPA’s analysis of it are available for

inspection at: Air and Radiation

Division, Air Programs Branch, United

States Environmental Protection

Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson

Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mary Onischak, Environmental

Engineer, Air Programs Branch, (AR–

18J), United States Environmental

Protection Agency, Region 5, Chicago,

final rule published in the rules section

of this Federal Register.
