40 CFR Parts 52 and 81

[MI73-7281b; FRL-6366-4]

Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; Michigan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve the State's request to redesignate the Detroit area, which includes portions of Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb Counties, to attainment for carbon monoxide (CO). The EPA is also proposing to approve the corresponding 175A maintenance plan associated with the redesignation request as a revision to the Michigan State Implementation Plan (SIP) for attaining and maintaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for CO.

In the final rules section of the Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because EPA views this action as a noncontroversial action and anticipates no relevant adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no further activity is contemplated, and the direct final rule will become effective. If EPA receives relevant adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and all public comments received during the 30-day comment period set forth below will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: EPA must receive written comments by July 30, 1999.

ADDRESSES: 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.
