www.regulations.gov is an ``anonymous access'' system, and EPA will not
know your identity or contact information unless you provide it in the

public comment. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical

able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of
special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects
or viruses.
Docket: The index to the docket for this action is available
electronically at http://www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA
Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California. While all
documents in the docket are listed in the index, some information may
be publicly available only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted

947-4120, allen.cynthia@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal updates the delegation tables
in 40 CFR parts 60 and 61, to allow easier access by the public to the
status of local jurisdictions. In the Rules and Regulations section of
this Federal Register, we are updating these delegation tables in a
direct final action without prior proposal because we believe these
delegations are not controversial. If we receive adverse comments,
however, we will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule
and address the comments in subsequent action based on this proposed
rule.
We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone
interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not
receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further
information, please see the direct final action.
Dated: April 17, 2009.
Allyn Stern,
Acting Director, Air Division, Region IX.
