ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[TX98-1-7386; FRL-6117-4]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality State Implementation
Plans, Texas; Recodification of, and Revisions to the State
Implementation Plan; Chapter 114
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA proposes approval in this action the recodification of
and revision to the Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP) for 30 TAC
Chapter 114, ``Control of Air Pollution from Motor Vehicles.'' This
revision was submitted by the Governor on November 20, 1997, to
reformat and renumber existing state Chapter 114 sections into seven
new subchapters (A through G) without substantial technical changes.
In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is
approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment
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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and all public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. The 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.
Please see the direct final rule of this action located elsewhere
in today's Federal Register for a detailed description of the
recodification and revision to 30 TAC Chapter 114.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be postmarked by July 31,
1998.
