SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the state's submittal as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a non-
controversial 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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: March 27, 2007.
Mary A. Gade,
Regional Administrator, Region 5.
