[FRL-6239-6]

 
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans, Texas; 
Reasonably Available Control Technology for Emissions of Volatile 
Organic Compounds From Wood Furniture Coating Operations and Ship 
Building and Repair Operations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing direct final approval of rules submitted 
by Texas for the control of emissions from Wood Furniture Coating 
Operations and Ship Building and Repair Operations.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, 
we are approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because we view this as a noncontroversial 
revision and anticipate no adverse comment. We have explained our 
reasons for this approval in the preamble to the direct final rule. If 
we receive no relevant adverse comments, we will not take further 
action on this proposed rule. If we receive relevant adverse comments, 
EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. We 
will address all relevant public comments in a subsequent final rule 
based on this proposed rule. We will not institute a second comment 
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this 
action must do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received by April 14, 1999.

ADDRESSEES: Written comments should be addressed to Mr. Thomas H. 
Diggs, Chief, Air Planning Section (6PD-L), 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. Interested persons wanting to examine these 
documents should make an appointment with the appropriate office at 
least 24 hours before the visiting day.
