plan revisions meet statutory and regulatory requirements, and are 
consistent with EPA's guidance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document proposes to take action on SIP 
revisions pertaining to the State of New Mexico. We have published a 
direct final rule approving the State's SIP revisions in the ``Rules 
and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register because we view this 
as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse comment. We have 
explained our reasons for this action in the preamble to the direct 
final rule.
    If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action 
on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comment, we will withdraw 
the direct final rule and it will not take effect. We would address all 
public comments in any subsequent final rule based upon this proposed 
rule.
    We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this 
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.
