State of Colorado; Longmont Carbon Monoxide Redesignation to Attainment 
and Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing approval of the Longmont carbon monoxide 
redesignation request and maintenance plan. The redesignation request 
and maintenance plan were submitted by the Governor on August 19, 1998. 
In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving 
the State's redesignation request and maintenance plan State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision, as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views the redesignation and SIP 
revision 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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.
