ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CO-001-0001b; FRL-5606-5]
Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation
Plan for Colorado; Denver Nonattainment Area PM10 Contingency
Measures
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the state implementation plan (SIP)
for the Denver, Colorado PM10 (particulate matter with an
aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 micrometers)
nonattainment area submitted by the State of Colorado on November 17,
1995, to satisfy the Federal Clean Air Act requirement to submit
contingency measures for the Denver moderate PM10 nonattainment
area.
In the Final Rules Section of the 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
revision 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adverse comments, the direct final will be withdrawn and all public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 22, 1996.
ADDRESSES: All written comments should be addressed to: Richard R.
Long, Director, Air Program, EPA Region VIII, at the address listed
below. Information supporting this action can be found at the following
