[EPA-R08-OAR-2006-0210; FRL-8220-6]

 
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; Utah; 
Revised Definitions of Volatile Organic Compounds and Clearing Index; 
Proposed Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revisions submitted by the State of Utah on November 11 and November 
23, 2005. The revisions are to the Utah Administrative Code (UAC) rule 
R307-101-2 and (1) incorporate by reference the Federal definition of 
``Volatile Organic Compounds'' (VOC), and (2) update the definition of 
``Clearing Index''. The intended effect of this action is to make 
federally enforceable those provisions that EPA is approving. This 
action is being taken under section 110 of the Clean Air Act.
    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 this 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 23, 2006.
