SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this
Federal Register, the EPA is approving
the State’s SIP revisions as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views these as noncontroversial
SIP revisions and anticipates no adverse
comments. In this proposed rule, the
EPA is proposing regulatory text that
includes incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is proposing to
incorporate by reference the date of the
version of the federal regulations
regarding air quality rules into the ARM.
A detailed rationale for the approval is
set forth in the preamble to the direct
final rule.
If the EPA receives no adverse
comments, the EPA will not take further
action on this proposed rule. If the EPA
receives adverse comments, we will
withdraw the direct final rule and it will
not take effect. The EPA will address all
public comments in a subsequent final
rule based on this proposed rule. The
EPA will not institute a second
comment period on this action. Any
parties interested in commenting must
do so at this time. For further
information, please see the ADDRESSES
section of this notice. Please note that if
the EPA receives adverse comment on
an amendment, paragraph, or section of
this rule and if that provision may be
