IV. Proposed Action EPA is proposing to approve the October 1, 2018 SIP submittal as meeting the interstate transport requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2015 ozone NAAQS. At this time, EPA is not proposing action on the remaining infrastructure elements included in Montana’s submittal and will act on those elements in a future action. The Agency is soliciting public comments on its proposed approval of the CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) element of Montana’s infrastructure SIP submittal for the 2015 ozone NAAQS. Significant comments will be considered before taking final action. Interested parties may participate in the Federal rulemaking procedure by submitting written comments to this proposed rule by following the instructions listed in the ADDRESSES section of this Federal Register. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS V.

The community also has police, fire, and utility departments, as well as a public library, regional hospital, airport, numerous businesses and places of worship, and its own Zip Code. In addition, the proposed allotment would allow the provision of noncommercial educational television service to areas not currently served by Alabama Educational Television Commission (AETC).
