[R08-OAR-2005-UT-0002; FRL-7939-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
State of Utah; Salt Lake City Revised Carbon Monoxide Maintenance Plan 
and Approval of Related Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to take direct final action approving State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Utah. On 
October 19, 2004, the Governor of Utah submitted revisions to Utah's 
Rule R307-110-12, ``Section IX, Control Measures for Area and Point 
Sources, Part C, Carbon Monoxide,'' which incorporates a revised 
maintenance plan for the Salt Lake City carbon monoxide (CO) 
maintenance area for the CO National Ambient Air Quality Standard 
(NAAQS). The revised maintenance plan contains revised transportation 
conformity budgets for the years 2005 and 2019. In addition, the 
Governor submitted revisions to Utah's Rule R307-110-33, ``Section X, 
Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program, Part C, Salt Lake County,'' 
which incorporates a revised vehicle inspection and maintenance program 
for Salt Lake County. EPA is proposing approval of the Salt Lake City 
CO revised maintenance plan, the revised transportation conformity 
budgets, the revised vehicle inspection and maintenance program for 
Salt Lake County, and the revisions to rules R307-110-12 and R307-110-
33. This action is being taken under section 110 of the Clean Air Act.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, 
EPA is approving the State's SIP revisions as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial SIP revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the preamble to the 
direct final rule. If EPA receives no adverse comments, EPA will not 
take further action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse 
comments, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take 
effect. EPA will address all public comments 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 must do so 
at

this time. Please note that if EPA receives 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.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before August 31, 2005.
