Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas; Control 
of Air Pollution From Visible Emissions and Particulate Matter

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act, the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the Texas 
State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of Texas to the 
EPA on August 23, 2017, that pertain to regulations to control air 
pollution from visible emissions and particulate matter.

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before May 29, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket No. EPA-R06-OAR-
2017-0519, at http://www.regulations.gov or via email to 
[email protected]. For additional information on how to submit 
comments see the detailed instructions in the ADDRESSES section of the 
direct final rule located in the rules section of this Federal 
Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Randy Pitre, (214) 665-7299, 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this issue of 
the Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as 
a direct rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as 
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received in response to this 
action no further activity is contemplated. If the EPA receives 
relevant adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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. The 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 which is 
located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: April 19, 2018.
