Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Texas; Revisions to Control Volatile Organic Compound Emissions From 
Consumer Related Sources

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve Texas State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revisions. The revisions pertain to regulations to control 
volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from consumer related 
sources. The control of VOC emissions will help to attain and maintain 
national ambient air quality standards for ozone in Texas. This 
approval will make the revised regulations Federally enforceable.

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before March 14, 2005.

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

[[Page 7070]]

the rules section of this Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carl Young, Air Planning Section (6PD-
L), Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Suite 
700, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733, telephone 214-665-6645; fax number 214-
665-7263; e-mail 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 Agency 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 no adverse comments are received in response to this action, 
no further activity is contemplated. If 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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments 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. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this 
time.
    For additional information, see the direct final rule which is 
located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: January 31, 2005.
Richard E. Greene,
Regional Administrator, Region 6.
