Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans Kentucky: 1-

Hour Ozone Maintenance Plan Update 

for Edmonson Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: Today’s action consists of two 

distinct but related final rulemakings 

briefly characterized here and further 

discussed in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of the direct final 

rule for this action. First, EPA is 

proposing to approve revisions to the 

Edmonson County portion of the State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by 

the Commonwealth of Kentucky, in 

draft form, on February 19, 2004, and in 

final form on August 24, 2004. The 

August 24, 2004, SIP revision provides 

the 10-year update to the original 1-hour 

ozone maintenance plans for three 1-

hour ozone maintenance areas, 

including the Edmonson County 

Maintenance Area, and also provides 

revised 2004 motor vehicle emission 

budgets (MVEBs) and establishes 2015 

MVEBs. Through this action, EPA is 

providing notification of its 

determination that the Edmonson 

County portion of the Commonwealth’s 

SIP revision satisfies the requirement of 

the Clean Air Act (CAA) as amended in 

1990 for the 10-year update of the 1-

hour ozone maintenance plan for 

Edmonson County Maintenance Area. 

Secondly, EPA is providing information 

on the status of its transportation 

conformity adequacy determination for 

the new MVEBs for the year 2015 that 

are contained in the 10-year update to 

the 1-hour ozone maintenance plan for 

the Edmonson County Area. In today’s 

action, EPA is only addressing the 

portion of the SIP revision for 

Edmonson County. EPA will take 

separate action to address the other 

portions of the SIP revision. 

In the final rules section of this 

Federal Register, the EPA is approving 

the State’s SIP revision 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 significant, material, and 

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withdrawn and all public comments 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 rule. 

The EPA will not institute a second 

comment period on this document. Any 

parties interested in commenting on this 

document should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before January 18, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of the Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

submittal as a direct final rule without 

prior proposal because the Agency 

views this as a noncontroversial 

revision amendment and anticipates no 

relevant adverse comments to this 

action. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no relevant adverse comments 

are received in response to this action, 

no further activity is contemplated in 

relation to this action. If EPA receives 

relevant 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 action. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period 

on this action. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this action should do so 

at this time. Please note that if EPA 

receives adverse comment on part of 

this rule and if that part can be severed 

from the remainder of the rule, EPA may 

adopt as final those parts 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.
