SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this Federal Register, EPA is approving the submittals as a direct 
final rule without prior proposal because EPA views this as a 
noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comment. The EPA 
has explained its reasons for this approval in the preamble to the 
direct final rule. If EPA receives no relevant adverse comment, EPA 
will not take further action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives 
relevant adverse comment, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and 
it will not take effect. The EPA will address all public comments in a 
subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties 
interested in commenting must do so at this time. Please note that if 
EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of 
this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of 
the rule, EPA 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 located in 
the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register.
