51258 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 2, 2008 / Proposed Rules 

Section XII of the Utah SIP and Rule 

R307–110–20 of the Utah 

Administrative Code (UAC) to meet the 

federal transportation conformity 

consultation requirements. The 

amended Rule R307–110–20 

incorporates by reference Section XII, 

‘‘Transportation Conformity 

Consultation,’’ of the SIP. The April 17, 

2008 revision makes minor changes to 

UAC sections R307–101–2, 

‘‘Definitions;’’ R307–115–1, 

‘‘Determining Conformity;’’ R307–170–

7, ‘‘Performance Specification Audits;’’

and R307–310–2, ‘‘Definitions;’’ and 

adds R307–101–3, ‘‘Version of CFR 

Incorporated by Reference.’’ In the 

‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this 

Federal Register, EPA is approving the 

State’s SIP revisions as a direct final 

rule without prior proposal because the 

Agency views these as noncontroversial 

SIP revisions and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the preamble to 

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. 

EPA will not institute a second 

comment period on this action. 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. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before October 2, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal addresses the approval of 

AVAQMD Rules 101, 102, 106, 108, 109, 

208, 210, 212, 218, 220, 221, and 226.

this Federal Register, we are approving 

these local rules 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. 

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.
