ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[WA48-7121b; FRL-5506-4]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: 
Washington

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed Rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of Washington for the purpose of 
updating regulations administered by the Energy Facility Site 
Evaluation Council (EFSEC). The SIP revision was submitted by the State 
to satisfy Federal Clean Air Act requirements contained in 40 CFR Part 
52. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving the State's SIP revision as a 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 the 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
June 24, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Montel Livingston, 
Environmental Protection Specialist (OAQ-107), Office of Air Quality, 
at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents 
relevant to this proposed rule 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 24 hours before the visiting day. 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 10, Office of Air Quality 
(OAQ-107), 1200 6th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101. The State of Washington, 
Department of Ecology, 4550 Third Avenue SE., Lacey, Washington 98504.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ed Jones, Office of Air Quality (OAQ-

Final action which is located in the Rules Section of this Federal
