[[Page 9988]]

Louisiana's Sections 111(d)/129 State Plan as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because EPA views this as a noncontroversial 
submittal 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 
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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. 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.
