40 CFR Part 52
[Region II Docket No. R02-OAR-2005-NY-0002; FRL-7958-9]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Onondaga
County Carbon Monoxide Maintenance Plan Revision; State of New York
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan
revision submitted on June 22, 2004 by the State of New York to revise
the Carbon Monoxide maintenance plan for Onondaga County, New York. EPA
is proposing to approve this New York CO maintenance plan because it
provides for continued maintenance of the CO National Ambient Air
Quality Standard.
In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register,
EPA is proposing to approve the State's SIP submittal, as a direct
final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in 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. The EPA will not institute a second comment period
on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action
should do so at this time.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before October 11, 2005.

submit information that you consider to be CBI or otherwise protected

automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD-ROM you submit. If 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.
Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the
Regional Material in EDocket (RME) index at http://docket.epa.gov/rmepub/. Although listed in the index, some information is not publicly
available, i.e., CBI or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted

only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket materials are
available either electronically in RME or in hard copy at Office of
Ecosystem Protection, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EPA Region
