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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve revisions to the Ohio State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted 
by the Ohio Environmental Protection

[[Page 106399]]

Agency (Ohio EPA) on November 4, 2024. Ohio EPA requested that EPA 
approve the revised rules for nitrogen oxide standards in the Ohio 
Administrative Code into Ohio's SIP. The revised rules include non-
substantive updates to rule language and updates to referenced 
material. The revisions will assist with Ohio's efforts to attain and 
maintain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for nitrogen 
dioxide.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 29, 2025.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-
OAR-2024-0529 at https://www.regulations.gov or via email to

any information you consider to be Confidential Business Information 
(CBI), Proprietary Business Information (PBI), or other information 
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia submissions 
(audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written comment. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this issue of 
the Federal Register, EPA is approving the state'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. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received in response to this 
rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives such 
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, 
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed 
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions 
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For 
additional information, see the direct final rule which is located in 
the Rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: December 19, 2024.

Regional Administrator, Region 5.
