68246 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 250 / Wednesday, December 31, 1997 / Proposed Rules

Register on September 12, 1995 (60 FR

47317). The comment period was

extended until October 31, 1995, and a

public hearing was held on October 5,

1995.

The majority of respondents objected

to the proposal for reasons of safety and

inconvenience to waterway users. Based

on the comments received, the Coast

Guard denied the request. The Coast

Guard offered a counter proposal, but

the County did not respond to the

counter proposal.

For the reasons stated in the

preamble, the Coast Guard is

terminating all further rulemaking

under docket number CGD11–95–003.

Dated: December 12, 1997.

Clean Air Act Approval and

Promulgation of PM10 Implementation

Plan for Colorado; Designation of

Areas for Air Quality Planning

Purposes; Steamboat Springs

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the

State implementation plan (SIP)

submitted by the State of Colorado to

achieve attainment and maintenance of

the National Ambient Air Quality

Standards (NAAQS) for particulate

matter with an aerodynamic diameter

less than or equal to a nominal 10

micrometers (PM10), including among

other things, control measures, technical

analyses, quantitative milestones and

contingency measures. The SIP was

submitted by the Governor of Colorado

with a letter dated September 16, 1997

to satisfy certain Federal requirements

for an approvable SIP for the Steamboat

Springs, Colorado moderate PM10

nonattainment area, as designated

effective January 20, 1994. In addition,

EPA proposes to approve the Steamboat

Springs emergency episode plan. EPA

also proposes to amend the boundary

for the Steamboat Springs

nonattainment area to clarify the

original description.

In the Final Rules Section of this

Federal Register, EPA is approving the

State’s SIP revisions as a direct final

rule without prior proposal because the

Agency views this as a noncontroversial

revision and anticipates no adverse

comments. A detailed rationale for

EPA’s actions is set forth in the direct

final rule. If no adverse comments are

received in response to this proposed

rule, no further activity is contemplated

and the direct final rule will become

effective. 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withdrawn and all public comments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 on this action.

Any parties interested in commenting

on this document should do so at this

time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule

must be received in writing by January

30, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

action should be addressed to Richard

R. Long, 8P2–A, at the EPA Regional

Office listed below. Copies of the State’s

submittal and documents relevant to

this proposed rule are available for

inspection during normal business

hours at the following locations: Air
