AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revisions submitted by the Governor of New Mexico on September 7, 
2004. The submittal revises the second ten-year carbon monoxide (CO) 
maintenance plan for the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County, New Mexico 
area. The submittal also revises the relevant parts of the New Mexico 
Administrative Code including revisions to the General Provisions, 
Inspection and Maintenance Program, and the contingency measures. We 
are proposing to approve these revisions in accordance with the 
requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before May 16, 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

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

[[Page 19724]]

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 rule, no further 
activity is contemplated. 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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments 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. 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 EPA receives relevant 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 which is 
located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: March 31, 2005.
