ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CO–001–0041b, CO–001–0042b, UT–001–

0032b; FRL–6889–3]

Approval and Promulgation of Air

Quality Implementation Plans;

Colorado and Utah; 1996 Periodic

Carbon Monoxide Emission

Inventories

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

two State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revisions: one submitted by the

Governor of the State of Colorado on

May 10, 2000; and the other submitted

by the Governor of the State of Utah on

June 14, 1999. The two revisions

contain the 1996 periodic carbon

monoxide (CO) emission inventories for

Denver, Colorado, Fort Collins,

Colorado, and Utah County, Utah that

were submitted to satisfy the

requirements of section 187(a)(5) of the

Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended in

1990. In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’

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 SIP revision and

anticipates no adverse comments. A

detailed rationale for the approval is set

forth in the preamble to the direct final

rule. If EPA receives no adverse

comments, EPA will not take further

action on this proposed 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. EPA

will not institute a second comment

period on this action. Any parties

interested in commenting must do so at

this time. Please note that if EPA

receives adverse comment on an

amendment, paragraph, or section of the

direct final rule and if that provision

may be severed from the remainder of

the rule, EPA may adopt as final those

provisions of the rule that are not the

subject of an adverse comment.

DATES: Comments must be received in

writing on or before November 24, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be

mailed to Richard R. Long, Director, Air

and Radiation Program, Mailcode 8P–

(EPA), Region VIII, 999 18th Street,
