Rescission of the Conditional Section 182(f) Exemption to the 
Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) Control Requirements for the Dallas/
Fort Worth Ozone Nonattainment Area; Texas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing direct final rescission of the 
conditional section 182(f) exemption to the NOX control 
requirements for the Dallas/Fort Worth ozone nonattainment area.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, 
we are rescinding the exemption as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because we view this as a noncontroversial action and 
anticipate no adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for this 
rescission in the preamble to the direct final rule. If we receive no 
relevant adverse comments, we will not take further action on this 
proposed rule. If we receive relevant adverse comments, we will 
withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. We will 
address all relevant public comments in a subsequent final rule based 
on this proposed rule. We will not institute a second comment period on 
this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this 
time.

DATES: Written comments must be received by May 20, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Mr. Thomas H. Diggs, 
Chief, Air Planning Section (6PD-L), at the EPA Regional Office listed 
below. Copies of the documents relevant to this proposed rule are 
available for public inspection during normal business hours at the

documents should make an appointment with the appropriate office at
