SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

request for a limited maintenance plan 

submitted on November 1, 2013, for the 

Grant County maintenance area for the 

1971 sulfur dioxide SO2 NAAQS 

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 

relevant adverse comments are received 

in response to this action, 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will be withdrawn and all public 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. The EPA will not 

institute a second comment period. Any 

parties interested in commenting on this 

action should do so at this time.

direct final rule, which is located in the

Approval and Promulgation of

Conformity of General Federal Actions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revisions submitted by the State of 

Texas on October 28, 2011. These 

revisions remove the State general 

conformity provisions from the SIP so 

that Federal rules will govern 

conformity of general Federal actions 

within the State of Texas. The revisions 

also update the narrative portion of the 

SIP. This action is being taken in 

accordance with the Clean Air Act. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

received on or before August 18, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP submittal as a direct rule without 

prior proposal because the Agency 

views this as noncontroversial submittal 

and anticipates no relevant adverse 

comments. 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. 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withdrawn and all public comments 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 rule. EPA will not institute a 

second comment period. Any parties 

interested in commenting on this action 

should do so at this time. 

For additional information, see the 

direct final rule which is located in the
