ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[Region II Docket No. R02-OAR-2005-NY-0002; FRL-7958-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Onondaga 
County Carbon Monoxide Maintenance Plan Revision; State of New York

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan 
revision submitted on June 22, 2004 by the State of New York to revise 
the Carbon Monoxide maintenance plan for Onondaga County, New York. EPA 
is proposing to approve this New York CO maintenance plan because it 
provides for continued maintenance of the CO National Ambient Air 
Quality Standard.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, 
EPA is proposing to approve 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 EPA receives no adverse comments, EPA will not take further 
action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, EPA 
will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. EPA 
will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on 
this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period 
on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action 
should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before October 11, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Regional Material in 
EDocket (RME) ID Number R02-OAR-2005-NY-0002 by one of the following

    Instructions: Direct your comments to Regional Material in EDocket

any personal information provided, unless the comment includes 
information claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or 
other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not 
submit information that you consider to be CBI or otherwise protected 
through Regional Material in EDocket (RME), regulations.gov, or e-mail. 
The EPA RME Web site and the Federal regulations.gov Web site are 
anonymous access systems, which means EPA will not know your identity 
or contact information unless you provide it in the body of your 
comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without going 
through RME or regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be 
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is 
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you 
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name 
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any 
disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to 
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA 
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid 
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of 
any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the 
Regional Material in EDocket (RME) index at http://docket.epa.gov/rmepub/. Although listed in the index, some information is not publicly 
available, i.e., CBI or other information whose disclosure is 
restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted 
material, is not placed on the Internet and will be publicly available 
only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket materials are 
available either electronically in RME or in hard copy at Office of 
Ecosystem Protection, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EPA Region 
2 Regional Office, 290 Broadway, New York, NY.

through Friday, 8:30 to 4:30 excluding Federal holidays.
