Information that you consider CBI or otherwise protected should be clearly identified as such and should not be submitted through                         *http://www.regulations.gov*                         or e-mail.                         *http://www.regulations.gov*                         is an “anonymous access” system, and EPA will not know your identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    This proposal addresses the approval of AVAQMD Rule 444 and SCAQMD Rule 445. In the Rules and Regulations section of 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.

We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further information, please see the direct final action.

Dated: April 14, 2009.

Laura Yoshii,

Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
