ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve 
numerous revisions to the Oregon State Implementation Plan (SIP) in the 
State of Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) relating to the inspection 
and maintenance (I/M) of motor vehicles. These revisions were submitted 
to EPA by the Director of the Oregon Department of Environmental 
Quality (ODEQ) on November 5, 1999, September 15, 2000, November 27, 
2000, January 10, 2003, and April 22, 2004.
    The revisions were submitted in accordance with the requirements of 
section 110 of the Clean Air Act (hereinafter CAA or Act).

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before December 22, 
2004.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to: Wayne Elson, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Office of Air, Waste, and Toxics (OAWT-107), EPA, 
1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98101. Comments may also be

follow the detailed instructions in the Addresses section of the Direct 
Final Rule which is located in the Rules section of this Federal 
Register. To submit comments, please follow the detailed instructions 
described in the Direct Final Rule, SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section, 
Part I, General Information.
    Copies of the State's request and other information supporting this 
action are available for inspection during normal business hours at the 
following location: EPA, Office of Air, Waste, and Toxics (AWT-107),

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wayne Elson, Office of Air, Waste, and 
Toxics (AWT-107), EPA, Seattle, Washington 98101, (206) 553-1463.

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.
    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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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: October 26, 2004.
Julie M. Hagensen,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 10.
