Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation 
Plan for Colorado; Carbon Monoxide Contingency Measures for Colorado 
Springs and Fort Collins

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revisions submitted by the State of Colorado with a letter dated 
February 18, 1994. This submittal addresses the Federal Clean Air Act 
requirement to submit contingency measures for carbon monoxide (CO) for 
the Colorado Springs and Fort Collins areas in Colorado designated as 
nonattainment for the CO National Ambient Air Quality Standards 
(NAAQS).
    In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision 
amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. The 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 the EPA receives adverse 
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and all public 
comments received during the 30-day comment period set forth below will 
be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. 
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 
January 22, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Jeff 
Houk at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the State's 
submittal and documents relevant to this proposed rule are available 
for inspection during normal business hours at the following location: 
Air Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th 
Street, Suite 500, Denver, Colorado 80202-2405.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the Direct 
Final action which is located in the Rules Section of this Federal 
Register.

    Dated: September 28, 1995.
