Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
State of Utah; Administrative Procedures

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the Governor of Utah on August 15, 2001. This SIP 
submittal deletes Utah's rules R307-102-3, ``Administrative Procedures 
and Hearings,'' and R307-414-3, ``Request for Review.'' EPA is 
proposing to remove Utah's rules R307-102-3 and R307-414-3 from Utah's 
federally approved SIP, because these rules are not required to be in 
Utah's SIP. This action is being taken under section 110 of the Clean 
Air Act.
    Furthermore, on August 25, 2006, the Governor of Utah submitted 
revisions to the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) rules in 
Utah's Air Conservation Regulations. We are proposing to approve 
updates to the NSPS ``Delegation Status of New Source Performance 
Standards'' table to indicate the State has been delegated the 
authority to implement and enforce NSPS and to add entries for newly 
delegated NSPS.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, 
EPA is approving the State's SIP revision 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.
