ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[MI69-01-7277b; FRL-6357-4]

 
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; Michigan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve several rule revisions and 
rescissions for incorporation into Michigan's State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) 
submitted these revisions on August 20, 1998 and supplemented them with 
a November 3, 1998, letter. They include revisions to degreasing, 
perchloroethylene dry cleaning, petroleum refinery, synthetic organic 
chemical manufacturing, and delivery vessel loading rules, and a number 
of rule rescissions.
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the State's request as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because EPA views this action as noncontroversial and 
anticipate no adverse comments. EPA has set forth a detailed rationale 
for approving the State's request in the direct final rule. The direct 
final rule will become effective without further notice unless we 
receive relevant adverse written comment. Should we receive adverse 
comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal informing the public that 
this direct final rule will not take effect; and that we will address 
the public comment received in a subsequent final rule based on the 
proposed rule. If EPA does not receive adverse written comments, the 
direct final rule will take effect on the date stated in that document, 
and there will be no further action on this rule. EPA does not plan to 
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received by August 20, 1999.

ADDRESSES: You may send written comments to: Carlton T. Nash, Chief, 
Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), United 
States Environmental Protection Agency, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, 
Chicago, Illinois 60604.
    Copies of the documents relevant to this action are available for 
public inspection during normal business hours at the above address.
