Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
State of Utah; Ogden City Carbon Monoxide Redesignation to Attainment, 
Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes, and Approval of 
Revisions to the Oxygenated Gasoline Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On December 9, 1996, the Governor of Utah submitted a request 
to redesignate the Ogden City ``moderate'' carbon monoxide (CO) 
nonattainment area to attainment for the CO National Ambient Air 
Quality Standard (NAAQS). The Governor also submitted a CO maintenance 
plan. In addition, on July 8, 1998, the Governor submitted revisions to 
Utah's Rule R307-8 ``Oxygenated Gasoline Program''. In this action, EPA 
is proposing approval of the Ogden City CO redesignation request, the 
maintenance plan, and the revisions to Rule R307-8. 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 Rule R307-8, 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 proposed 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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 on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
April 9, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be mailed to: Richard R. Long, 
Director, Air and Radiation Program, Mailcode 8P-AR, United States 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite
