On September 25, 2006, the Governor’s designee submitted revised maintenance plans for the Denver metropolitan and Longmont carbon monoxide (CO) maintenance areas for the CO National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). These revised maintenance plans address maintenance of the CO standard for a second ten-year period beyond redesignation, extend the horizon years, and contain revised transportation conformity budgets. In addition, Regulation No. 11, ‘‘Vehicle Emission Inspection Program,’’ and Regulation No. 13, ‘‘Oxygenated Fuels Program,’’ are removed from Denver’s and Longmont’s revised CO maintenance plans. EPA is proposing approval of the revised Denver and Longmont CO maintenance plans, and the revised transportation conformity budgets. In addition, EPA is proposing to approve the removal of Regulation No. 11 and Regulation No. 13 from Denver’s and Longmont’s revised CO maintenance plans. This action is being taken under section 110 of the Clean Air Act. In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this Federal 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 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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:36 Aug 16, 2007 Jkt 211001 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 must do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of the 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.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the State Plan submitted by Louisiana on October 25, 2006. The plan addresses the requirements of EPA’s Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR), promulgated on May 18, 2005 and subsequently revised on June 9, 2006. EPA is proposing that the submitted State Plan fully implements the CAMR requirements for Louisiana. CAMR requires States to regulate emissions of mercury (Hg) from large coal-fired electric generating units (EGUs). CAMR establishes State budgets for annual EGU Hg emissions and requires States to submit State Plans that ensure that annual EGU Hg emissions will not exceed the applicable State budget. States have the flexibility to choose which control measures to adopt to achieve the budgets, including participating in the EPA-administered CAMR cap-and-trade program. In the State Plan that EPA is approving, Louisiana would meet CAMR requirements by participating in the EPA administered cap-and-trade program addressing Hg emissions.

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
State of Colorado; Revised Denver and Longmont Carbon Monoxide 
Maintenance Plans, and Approval of Related Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to take direct final action approving a State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Colorado. 
On September 25, 2006, the Governor's designee submitted revised 
maintenance plans for the Denver metropolitan and Longmont carbon 
monoxide (CO) maintenance areas for the CO National Ambient Air Quality 
Standard (NAAQS). These revised maintenance plans address maintenance 
of the CO standard for a second ten-year period beyond redesignation, 
extend the horizon years, and contain revised transportation conformity 
budgets. In addition, Regulation No. 11, ``Vehicle Emission Inspection 
Program,'' and Regulation No. 13, ``Oxygenated Fuels Program,'' are 
removed from Denver's and Longmont's revised CO maintenance plans. EPA 
is proposing approval of the revised Denver and Longmont CO maintenance 
plans, and the revised transportation conformity budgets. In addition, 
EPA is proposing to approve the removal of Regulation No. 11 and 
Regulation No. 13 from Denver's and Longmont's revised CO maintenance 
plans. This action is being taken under section 110 of the Clean Air 
Act.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal 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 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 must do so 
at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an 
amendment, paragraph, or section of the 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.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before September 17, 
2007.
