SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve, through direct final

Nitrogen (NOX) budget trading program. This plan revision 
was submitted for approval by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency 
on November 26, 2003. The revision changes the flow control date to 
2005 in Ohio's NOX State Implementation Plan (SIP) rule, 
Ohio Administrative Code 3745-14-06. This date change was a condition 
for the approval of the Ohio NOX SIP, which was 
conditionally approved by EPA on August 5, 2003. 68 FR 46089. If EPA 
receives written 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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. If no such adverse 
written comments are received, the direct final rule will take effect 
on the date stated in that document and no further activity will be 
taken on this proposed rule. Any party interested in commenting on this 
action should do so at this time.
