SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this Federal Register, EPA is approving negative declarations submitted 
by the City of Albuquerque Environmental Health Department certifying 
that there are no existing sulfuric acid mist emissions from sulfuric 
acid plants, no existing fluoride emissions from phosphate fertilizer 
plants and no existing total reduced sulfur emissions from kraft pulp 
mills, under its jurisdiction in the City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo 
County, New Mexico (excluding tribal lands). These negative 
declarations meets the requirements of 40 CFR 62.06. EPA is approving 
sections 111(d)/129 State Plans as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because EPA views this as a noncontroversial submittal and 
anticipates no adverse comments. The EPA has explained its reasons for 
this approval in the preamble to the direct final rule. If EPA receives 
no relevant adverse comments, EPA will not take further action on this 
proposed rule. If EPA receives relevant adverse comments, the direct 
final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 
addressed in a subsequent direct final rule based on this proposed 
rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties 
interested in commenting must 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 located in 
the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: September 19, 2005.
Lawrence E. Starfield,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 6.
