approve a revision to the Louisiana State Implementation Plan (SIP) to 
meet the emissions inventory requirements of the

Clean Air Act (CAA) for the Baton Rouge ozone nonattainment area. EPA 
is proposing to approve the SIP revision because it satisfies the 
emissions inventory requirements for 8-hour ozone nonattainment areas. 
EPA is proposing to approve the revision pursuant to section 110 of the 
CAA.

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before October 5, 
2009.

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 rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as non-
controversial 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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, located in 
the rules section of this Federal Register.
