Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Revisions to 
the Nevada State Implementation Plan; Clark County

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Under the Clean Air Act, EPA is proposing to approve a 
revision to the Clark County portion of the Nevada State Implementation 
Plan (SIP). This revision consists of transportation conformity 
criteria and procedures related to interagency consultation and 
enforceability of certain transportation-related control measures and 
mitigation measures. We are proposing to approve a local plan to 
include the transportation conformity criteria and procedures in the 
applicable SIP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the Clark County 
Transportation Conformity Plan, submitted on April 1, 2008 by the 
Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) to comply with 
certain requirements that apply to the nonattainment portions of Clark 
County. In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, 
we are approving this local plan 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 we 
receive adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this 
rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the 
rule, we 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: September 24, 2008.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
