Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality State Implementation 
Plans; Texas; Approval of Clean Fuel Fleet Substitution Program 
Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve the State of Texas' Clean Fuel 
Fleet (CFF) substitute plan, incorporating them into the State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) under the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA). The 
State's CFF Substitute Plan is addressed in the SIP revision submitted 
on August 27 1998, and supplemented with additional technical 
information in a letter to the EPA dated November 17, 2000, by the 
State of Texas for the purpose of establishing a substitute CFF 
program.
    In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving this SIP submittal as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because we view it as noncontroversial and anticipate no 
adverse comments. See the direct final rule for detailed rationale for 
the approval. If EPA receives no adverse comments in response to this 
action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA does receive 
adverse comments, we will

withdraw the direct final rule and respond to all public comments 
received in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA 
will not institute a second comment period. If you are interested in 
commenting on this action, you should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before March 9, 2001.
