SUMMARY: EPA is proposing approval of the Colorado Springs carbon 
monoxide redesignation request, maintenance plan, and revisions to

[[Page 46332]]

1, 1998. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the State's redesignation request and State Implementation 
Plan (SIP) revisions, involving the maintenance plan and the changes to 
Regulation No. 13, as a direct final rule without prior proposal 
because the Agency views the redesignation and SIP revisions as 
noncontroversial 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 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. 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 must be received in writing by September 24, 1999.
