ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a December 19, 2003 request from Michigan for a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision of the Southeast Michigan carbon monoxide (CO) maintenance plan. The CO maintenance plan revision establishes a new on-road emissions inventory for the years 1996 and 2010. The revision also establishes a new transportation conformity motor vehicle emissions budget (MVEB) for the year 2010. The emission inventory and MVEB updates are designed to maintain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for CO as required by the CAA. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal, because EPA views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If we do not receive any adverse comments in response to these direct final and proposed rules, we do not contemplate taking any further action in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, we will withdraw the direct final rule and will respond to 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. DATES: Written comments must be received on or before February 28, 2005. ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by Regional Material in EDocket (RME) ID No. R05–OAR–2004– IL–0003 by one of the following methods: Federal eRulemaking Portal: https:// www.regulations.gov.

The Southeast Michigan CO maintenance area consists of portions of Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne Counties. As a result of today’s action, the 1996 base year on-road emissions inventory, forecast year 2010 emissions inventory, and the 2010 MVEB will be updated to meet EPA’s requirement to use the Mobile6 emissions factor model to determine conformity to the CO maintenance SIP. By approving the revision, EPA ensures that future emission forecasts for conformity analyses in the Southeast Michigan CO maintenance area will be compared to budgets that are based on similar inputs and the same version of the Mobile model.

Title X, section 1002, of this law amended the Public Health Service (PHS) Act by adding section 452G (42 U.S.C. 285g–10). Section 452G directs the Director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, after consultation with the Administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration, to support activities to provide for and increase in the number and size of institutional training grants to institutions supporting pediatric training. We propose to amend the DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 present regulations codified at 42 CFR part 63a, National Institutes of Health Training Grants, to implement this pediatric research training grants authority. More specifically, we propose to amend part 63a to reference section 452G of the PHS Act in the authority section and in paragraph (2) of § 63a.1 of the regulations, and update information in unnumbered paragraphs 17 and 18 of § 63a.11. The purpose of this notice is to invite public comment on this proposed action. We provide the following as public information. Executive Order 12866 Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, requires that all regulatory actions reflect consideration of the costs and benefits they generate, and that they meet certain standards, such as avoiding the imposition of unnecessary burdens on the affected public. If a regulatory action is deemed to fall within the scope of the definition of the term ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ contained in section 3(f) of the Order, prepublication review by the Office of Management and Budget’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) is necessary. The OIRA reviewed this proposed rule under Executive Order 12866 and deemed it not a significant regulatory action as defined by the Executive Order. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) requires that regulatory proposals be analyzed to determine whether they create a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. The Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary) certifies that any final rule resulting from this proposed rule will not have such impact. Executive Order 13132 Executive Order 13132, Federalism, requires that Federal agencies consult with State and local government officials in the development of regulatory policies with federalism implications. The Secretary reviewed the proposed rule as required under the Executive Order and determined that it does not have federalism implications. The Secretary certifies that this proposed rule will not have an effect on the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.

Approval and Promulgation of Maintenance Plan Revisions; Michigan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve a December 19, 2003 request from Michigan for a State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision of the Southeast Michigan carbon 
monoxide (CO) maintenance plan. The CO maintenance plan revision 
establishes a new on-road emissions inventory for the years 1996 and 
2010. The revision also establishes a new transportation conformity 
motor vehicle emissions budget (MVEB) for the year 2010. The emission 
inventory and MVEB updates are designed to maintain the National 
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for CO as required by the CAA.
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal, because EPA views this as a noncontroversial revision and 
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval 
is set forth in the direct final rule. If we do not receive any adverse 
comments in response to these direct final and proposed rules, we do 
not contemplate taking any further action in relation to this proposed 
rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, we will withdraw the direct 
final rule and will respond to 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.
