SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal addresses the submitted PM2.5

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. 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. Please note that if we 

receive adverse comment on an

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. For further information, please 

see the direct final action.

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. 

DATES: Comments must be received on
