(ODEQ) on November 5, 1999, March 7, 2000, June 26, 2001, and November

2003.

Scientist, EPA, Office of Air Quality (OAQ-107), Seattle, Washington 
98101, (206) 553-4253.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal 
Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct 
final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. If no 
adverse comments are received in response to this action, no further 
activity is contemplated.

[[Page 2954]]

    If the 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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. The EPA will not 
institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting 
on this action should do so at this time. Please note that if we 
receive adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this 
rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the 
rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not 
the subject of an adverse comment.
    For additional information, see the Direct Final rule which is 
located in the Rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: December 17, 2002.
