SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document, ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us’’ 

and ‘‘our’’ refer to the EPA. This 

proposal addresses the following local 

plan, ‘‘Second 10-Year Maintenance 

Plan for the Truckee Meadows 8-Hour 

Carbon Monoxide Attainment Area, 

August 28, 2014,’’ and associated motor 

vehicle emissions budgets. In the Rules 

and Regulations section of this Federal 

Register, we are approving this local 

plan in a direct final action without 

prior proposal because we believe this 

SIP revision is 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. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Rules and Regulations section of the 

Federal Register, EPA is authorizing the 

revisions by a direct final rule. EPA did 

not make a proposal prior to the direct 

final rule because we believe this action 

is not controversial and do not expect 

comments that oppose it. We have 

explained the reasons for this 

authorization in the preamble of the 

direct final rule. Unless EPA receives 

adverse written comments that oppose 

this authorization during the comment 

period, the direct final rule will become 

effective on the date it establishes, and 

EPA will not take further action on this 

proposal. If EPA receives comments that 

oppose this action, we will withdraw 

the Direct Final Rule, and it will not 

take effect. EPA will then respond to 

public comments in a later final rule 

based on this proposal and after 

consideration of all comments. You may 

not have another opportunity for 

comment. If you want to comment on 

this action, you must do so at this time. 

For additional information, please see 

the direct final rule published in the
