**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  This proposal addresses the submitted PM 2.5 emission inventories for the San Francisco Bay Area and Chico nonattainment areas. In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register , we are approving submitted emission inventories in a direct final action without prior proposal because we believe these SIP revisions are not controversial.

Please note that if we receive adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. 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.

**Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; West Virginia;**  **Regional Haze Five-Year Progress Report State Implementation Plan** 

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Proposed rule.

**SUMMARY :**  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing approval of a revision to the West Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of West Virginia (West Virginia) through the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP). West Virginia’s SIP revision addresses requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and EPA’s rules that require states to submit periodic reports describing progress towards reasonable progress goals (RPGs) established for regional haze and a determination of the adequacy of the state’s existing SIP addressing regional haze (regional haze SIP). EPA is proposing approval of West Virginia’s SIP revision on the basis that it addresses the progress report and adequacy determination requirements for the first implementation period for regional haze.
