Clean Air Act Promulgation of Extension of Attainment Date for
PM-10 Nonattainment Area
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to grant a 1-year attainment date extension for
the Denver, Colorado particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter
less than or equal to a nominal 10 micrometers (PM-10) nonattainment
area. This proposed action is based on monitored air quality data for
the national ambient air quality standard for PM-10 during the years
1992-94 and EPA's evaluatation of the applicable state implementation
plan (SIP).
[[Page 52352]]
In the Final Rules Section of the Federal Register, EPA is granting
the State's extension request, as a direct final rule without prior
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial action and
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval
is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are
received in response to this proposed rule, no further activity is
contemplated in relation to this rule. If EPA receives adverse
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public
comments received will be addressed 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 on this action should
do so at this time.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by
November 6, 1995.
ADDRESSES: All written comments should be addressed to: Douglas M.
