In the Rules and Regulations section

of this Federal Register, we are

approving these local rules and remove

one rule in a direct final action without

prior proposal because we believe these

SIP revisions are 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. 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.

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans; New York State

Implementation Plan Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to

approve a revision to the New York

State Implementation Plan (SIP) for

ozone concerning the control of volatile

organic compounds and oxides of

nitrogen. This revision was submitted to

comply with provisions of the Clean Air

Act (CAA) relating to the adoption of

vehicle refueling controls or comparable

measure(s) in the upstate portion of

New York State. The intended effect of

this action is to approve a program

required by the CAA which will result

in emission reductions that will help

achieve attainment of the national

ambient air quality standard for ozone.

In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section

of this Federal Register, EPA is

approving New York’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 EPA

receives no adverse comments, EPA will

not take further action on this rule. If

EPA receives adverse comments, EPA

will withdraw the direct final rule and

it will not take effect. EPA will address

all public comments in a subsequent

final rule based on this proposed rule.

The 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.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before October 30, 2000.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be

addressed to: Raymond Werner, Chief,

Air Programs Branch, Environmental

Protection Agency, Region 2 Office, 290

Broadway, 25th Floor, New York, New

York 10007–1866.
