ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve two state implementation plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of West Virginia. These submittals seek to remove from the West Virginia SIP two West Virginia regulations that established trading programs under the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). The EPA-administered trading programs under CAIR were discontinued on December 31, 2014 upon the implementation of the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR), which was promulgated by EPA to replace CAIR. CSAPR established federal implementation plans (FIPs) for 23 states, including West Virginia. The submitted SIP revisions request removal of two regulations that implemented the CAIR annual NOX and annual sulfur dioxide (SO2) trading programs from the West Virginia SIP. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State’s SIP submittals as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views these as noncontroversial submittals and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. DATES: Comments must be received in writing by October 25, 2017. ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R03– OAR–2016–0574 at https:// www.regulations.gov, or via email to Stahl.Cynthia@epa.gov.

State of Maryland through the Maryland Department of the Environment 
(MDE). In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final rule without

rulemaking action. A copy of the TSD is available, upon request, from

adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 rule. EPA will not institute a second comment 
period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do 
so at this time.
