Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Commonwealth of Puerto Rico

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the approval of revisions to the Puerto Rico ``Regulations for the Control of Atmospheric Pollution,'' submitted to EPA by the Puerto Rico Environmental Quality Board (EQB) on September 29, 1995. This action approves revisions to Rules 102, 105, 106, 107, 109, 110, 111, 114, 117, 121, 201, 203, 204, 205, 206, 209, 301, 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 408, 409, 410, 412, 413, 414, 417, and 501. At the request of EQB, EPA will be taking final action on Rules 112 and 211 at a later date. EPA is not incorporating new Rule 422 into the federally approved Puerto Rico State Implementation Plan (SIP). EPA is also withdrawing Rules 411, 418, 419, 420 and 421 from the Puerto Rico SIP at the request of the EQB. However, although requested by the EQB, EPA is not withdrawing Rule 404 from the SIP. In addition, EPA is adding a new section to the Code of Federal Regulations which clearly identifies those Puerto Rico regulations which are a part of the SIP.
