Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
New Mexico; Recodification and SIP Renumbering of the New Mexico 
Administrative Code for Albuquerque/Bernalillo County

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the Governor of New Mexico on May 2, 2003. 
The submittal revises the numbering and format of New Mexico's 
Albuquerque/Bernalillo County SIP and contains no substantive changes 
to the regulations. We are approving these revisions in accordance with 
the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act (the Act).

DATES: Written comments must be received by January 31, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Mr. Thomas Diggs, Chief, Air 
Planning Section (6PD-L), Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross 
Avenue, Suite 1200, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733.
    Comments may also be submitted electronically or through hand 
delivery/courier by following the detailed instructions in the 
ADDRESSES section of the direct final rule located in the rules section 
of this Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carrie Paige, Air Planning Section

telephone (214) 665-6521; fax number 214-665-7263; email address 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the EPA views this as a 
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If EPA receives no relevant adverse comments, the 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this 
action must do so at this time.
    For additional information, see the direct final rule which is 
located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal 
Register.

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.
