[UT-001-0045b, UT-001-0046b; FRL-7378-1]


Determination of Attainment for the Carbon Monoxide National 
Ambient Air Quality Standard for Metropolitan Provo; State of Utah, and 
Approval of Revisions to the Oxygenated Gasoline Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This proposed rule would make a determination of attainment 
for the carbon monoxide (CO) National Ambient Air Quality Standard 
(NAAQS) for the metropolitan Provo CO nonattainment area (hereafter 
Provo area) which was classified as ``moderate''. The Provo area was 
required by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 to attain the CO NAAQS 
by December 31, 1995. This determination would be based on complete, 
quality assured ambient air quality monitoring data for the years 1994 
and 1995. In addition, on September 27, 2001, the Governor

[[Page 59233]]

submitted revisions to Utah's rule R307-301 ``Utah and Weber Counties: 
Oxygenated Gasoline Program''. EPA is also proposing approval of the 
revisions to rule R307-301.
    In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the determination of attainment for the CO NAAQS for the 
Provo CO nonattainment area and the revisions to R307-301 as a direct 
final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this action 
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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 
October 21, 2002.

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
