Approval and Promulgation of

Maintenance Plan Revisions;

Wisconsin

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a

September 8, 2000 request from

Wisconsin for a State Implementation

Plan (SIP) revision of the Walworth

County, Wisconsin ozone maintenance

plan. The maintenance plan revision

allocates a portion of the safety margin

to the transportation conformity Mobile

Vehicle Emissions Budget (MVEB) for

the year 2007. EPA is approving the

allocation of 0.5 tons per day of Volatile

Organic Compounds (VOC) to the area’s

2007 MVEB for transportation

conformity purposes. This allocation

will still maintain the total emissions

for the area at or below the attainment

level required by the transportation

conformity regulations. In the Final

Rules section of this Federal Register,

EPA is approving the State’s SIP

revision, 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 the

approval is set forth in the direct final

rule. If we receive no adverse comments

in response to that direct final rule we

plan to take no further action in relation

to this proposed rule. If we receive

significant adverse comments, in

writing, which we have not addressed,

we will withdraw the direct final rule

and address all public comments

received in a subsequent final rule

based on this proposed rule. The EPA

will not institute a second comment

period on this document.

DATES: Written comments must be

received on or before November 27,

2000.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to:

Control District. The revision consists of

Massachusetts’s new state regulation

310 CMR 60.04—‘‘City of Cambridge

Vehicle Trip Reduction Program.’’

The proposal provided a 30 day

public comment period that was

originally scheduled to end October 18,

ACTION: Proposed action.

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the

State Implementation Plan (SIP)

final rule will be withdrawn and all

public comments received will be

addressed in a subsequent final rule

based on this proposed action. 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.
