ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[R08-OAR-2005-UT-0003; FRL-7961-6]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
State of Utah; Ogden City Revised Carbon Monoxide Maintenance Plan and
Approval of Related Revisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to take direct final action approving State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Utah. On
November 29, 2004, the Governor of Utah submitted revisions to Utah's
Rule R307-110-12, ``Section IX, Control Measures for Area and Point
Sources, Part C, Carbon Monoxide,'' which incorporates a revised
maintenance plan for the Ogden carbon monoxide (CO) maintenance area
for the CO National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The revised
maintenance plan contains revised transportation conformity budgets for
the years 2005 and 2021. In addition, the Governor submitted revisions
to Utah's Rule R307-110-35, ``Section X, Vehicle Inspection and
Maintenance Program, Part E, Weber County,'' which incorporates a
revised vehicle inspection and maintenance program for Weber County. In
this action, EPA is approving the Ogden City CO revised maintenance
plan, the revised transportation conformity budgets, the revised
vehicle inspection and maintenance program for Weber County, and the
revisions to rules R307-110-12 and R307-110-35. 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 revisions 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
[[Page 54325]]
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
this 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 October 14, 2005.
