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adverse comments, the direct final will be withdrawn and all public 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 
location: EPA Region VIII, Air Program 999 18th Street, Denver,
