State Implementation Plans (SIPs) to 

replace the previously approved motor 

vehicle emissions budgets (budgets) 

with budgets developed using EPA’s

Ohio and Indiana portions of the 

Cincinnati-Hamilton area include the 

Ohio Counties of Butler, Clermont, 

Clinton, Hamilton, and Warren, Ohio

Dearborn County, Indiana. Ohio 

submitted the SIP revision request to

EPA for parallel processing with a letter 

dated October 12, 2012, and followed 

up with a final submittal on December 

11, 2012. Ohio and Indiana have 

submitted identical budgets which 

cover the Ohio and Indiana portions of 

the Cincinnati-Hamilton 1997 ozone 

maintenance area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the states’ 

SIP submittals as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal 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 rule, 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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. 

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. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule which is located 

in the Rules section of this Federal 

Register. 

Dated: January 11, 2013.
