ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R06-OAR-2014-0554; FRL-9923-17-Region 6]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas; 
Emissions Inventories for the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston-Galveston-
Brazoria Ozone Nonattainment Areas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve revisions to the Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
submitted to meet Emissions Inventory (EI) requirements of the Clean 
Air Act (CAA) for the Dallas-Fort-Worth (DFW) and the Houston-
Galveston-Brazoria (HGB) nonattainment areas. EPA is proposing to 
approve the SIP revisions because they satisfy the CAA EI requirements 
for the DFW and HGB nonattainment areas under the 2008 eight-hour ozone 
National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). EPA is proposing to 
approve the revisions pursuant to section 110 and part D of the CAA and 
EPA's regulations.

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before March 23, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Mr. Guy Donaldson, Chief, Air 
Planning Section (6PD-L), Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross 
Avenue, Suite 1200, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733. Comments may also be 
submitted electronically or through hand delivery/courier by following 
the detailed instructions in the ADDRESSES section of the direct final 
rule located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct 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 no adverse comments are received in response to this action no 
further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the 
direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 
will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed 
rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
    For additional information, see the direct final rule which is 
located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: February 9, 2015.

Regional Administrator, Region 6.
