SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, ``we,'' ``us'' and 
``our'' refer to the EPA. This proposal addresses revisions to the 
Arizona SIP concerning the emission inventory, emission statements, 
reasonably available control technology corrections and the vehicle 
inspection and maintenance requirements for the Phoenix-Mesa 2008 
eight-Hour Ozone NAAQS Marginal nonattainment area. In the Rules and 
Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are approving these 
revisions in a direct final action without prior proposal because we 
believe these SIP revisions are 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.
    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.
