[EPA-R08-OAR-2005-0463; FRL-8957-2]

 
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; State of 
Colorado; Revisions to the Denver Emergency Episode Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revisions to the Denver Emergency Episode Plan submitted by the State 
of Colorado on September 16, 1997. EPA has determined that the Denver 
Emergency Episode Plan revisions meet the requirements for the 
prevention of air pollution emergency episodes with ambient 
concentrations of air pollutants that may endanger public health and 
welfare. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a non-
controversial SIP revision 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 19, 2009.
