SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal addresses the following local 

rule: Rule 101. In the Rules and 

Regulations section of this Federal 

Register, we are approving this local 

rule in a direct final action without 

prior proposal because we believe this 

SIP revision is 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. Please note that 

if we receive adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

we may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. 

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: May 10, 2012.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
