[EPA-R04-OAR-2006-0650-200705(b); FRL-8464-1]

 
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans Kentucky: 
Volatile Organic Compound Definition Updates

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Kentucky State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Kentucky Environmental and 
Public Protection Cabinet on December 14, 2006. The revision includes 
changes to the definitions section of Kentucky's Air Quality 
Regulations regarding the definition of ``volatile organic compounds,'' 
which was updated to be consistent with the federal definition. In the 
Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving 
Kentucky's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal 
because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and 
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval 
is set forth in the direct final rule. If adverse comments are received 
in response to this rule, no further activity is contemplated. If 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 document. Any parties interested in commenting 
on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before October 15, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. ``EPA-R04-
OAR-2006-0650,'' by one of the following methods:
