ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Parts 52 and 81
[EPA-R10-OAR-2006-0010; FRL-8041-8]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Lakeview PM10 Maintenance Plan and Redesignation Request
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a PM10 State
Implementation Plan (SIP) maintenance plan revision for the Lakeview,
Oregon nonattainment area and to redesignate the area from
nonattainment to attainment for PM10. PM10 air
pollution is suspended particulate matter with a nominal diameter less
than or equal to a nominal ten micrometers. EPA is proposing to approve
the SIP revision and redesignation request because the State adequately
demonstrates that the control measures being implemented in the
Lakeview area result in maintenance of the PM10 National
Ambient Air Quality Standards and all other requirements of the Clean
Air Act for redesignation to attainment are met.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For further information, please see the
direct final action, of the same title, which is located in the Rules
section of this Federal Register. EPA is approving the State's SIP
revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because EPA
views this as a noncontroversial SIP revision and anticipates no
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in
the preamble to the direct final rule. If EPA receives no adverse
comments, EPA will not take further action on this proposed rule.
If EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will withdraw the direct
final rule and it will not take effect. EPA will address all public
comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. 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.
Please note that if we receive adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
