ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing a revision to the Kansas State Implementation 
Plan (SIP) for the purpose of approving the Kansas Department of Health

provisions of the Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i). These 
provisions require each state to submit a SIP that prohibits emissions 
that adversely affect another state's air quality through interstate 
transport. KDHE has adequately addressed the four distinct elements 
related to the impact of interstate transport of air pollutants. These 
include prohibiting significant contribution to downwind nonattainment 
of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), interference 
with maintenance of the NAAQS, interference with plans in another state 
to prevent significant deterioration of air quality, and efforts of 
other states to protect visibility. The requirements for public 
notification were also met by KDHE.

April 9, 2007.

Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP revision as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no relevant adverse 
comments to this action. 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 action, no further activity is 
contemplated in relation to this action. If EPA receives relevant 
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 action. 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 EPA receives 
adverse comment on part of this rule and if that part can be severed 
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those parts of 
the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For additional
