SUMMARY: The State of Texas has applied to the Environmental Protection

authorizing the changes by direct final rule. EPA did not make a 
proposal prior to the direct final rule because we believe this action 
is not controversial and do not expect comments that oppose it. We have 
explained the reasons for this authorization in the preamble to the 
direct final rule. Unless we get written comments which oppose this 
authorization during the comment period, the direct final rule will 
become effective on the date it establishes, and we will not take 
further action on this proposal. If we receive comments that oppose 
this action, we will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not 
take effect. We will then respond to public comments in a later final 
rule based on this proposal. You may not have another opportunity for 
comment. If you want to comment on this action, you must do so at this 
time.

DATES: Send your written comments by October 3, 2014.

Authorization Coordinator, (6PD-O), Multimedia Planning and Permitting
