Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

If you send e-mail directly to EPA, your e-mail address will be

EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot 

contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters, 

any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.

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



    In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we 

are approving these local rules in a direct final action without prior 

proposal because we believe these SIP revisions are not controversial. 

If we receive adverse comments, however, we will publish a timely 

withdrawal of the direct final rule and address the comments in 

subsequent action based on this proposed rule. Please note that if we 

receive adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this 

rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the 

rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not 

the subject of an adverse comment.

    We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone 

interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not 

receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further 

information, please see the direct final action.



    Dated: April 1, 2010.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
