# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    In the Final Rules section of this                     **Federal Register**                    , EPA is approving the State's SIP submittals as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views these as noncontroversial submittals and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this action rule, 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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. 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                           ( print page 61404)                        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**                    .
