AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) proposes to approve the 

2011 base year inventories for the 2008 

8-hour ozone national ambient air 

quality standard (NAAQS) for the 

Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton,

Reading nonattainment areas, and the 

Pennsylvania portion of the 

Philadelphia-Wilmington-Atlantic City 

nonattainment area, submitted by the 

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as a 

revision to the Pennsylvania State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). In the Rules 

and Regulations section of this issue of 

the Federal Register, EPA is approving 

Pennsylvania’s SIP submittal as a direct 

final rule without prior proposal 

because the Agency views this as a 

noncontroversial submittal and 

anticipates no adverse comments. The 

rationale for the approval is set forth in 

the direct final rule. More detailed 

descriptions of the state submittal and 

EPA’s evaluation are included in 

Technical Support Documents (TSD) 

prepared in support of this rulemaking 

action. Copies of the TSDs are available, 

upon request, from the EPA Regional 

Office listed in the ADDRESSES section of 

this document or are also available 

electronically within the Docket for this 

rulemaking action. 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withdrawn and all public comments 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. 

DATES: Comments must be received in 

writing by May 26, 2016.
