Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
State of Utah; Ogden City Revised Carbon Monoxide Maintenance Plan and 
Approval of Related Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to take direct final action approving State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Utah. On 
November 29, 2004, the Governor of Utah submitted revisions to Utah's 
Rule R307-110-12, ``Section IX, Control Measures for Area and Point 
Sources, Part C, Carbon Monoxide,'' which incorporates a revised 
maintenance plan for the Ogden carbon monoxide (CO) maintenance area 
for the CO National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The revised 
maintenance plan contains revised transportation conformity budgets for 
the years 2005 and 2021. In addition, the Governor submitted revisions 
to Utah's Rule R307-110-35, ``Section X, Vehicle Inspection and 
Maintenance Program, Part E, Weber County,'' which incorporates a 
revised vehicle inspection and maintenance program for Weber County. In 
this action, EPA is approving the Ogden City CO revised maintenance 
plan, the revised transportation conformity budgets, the revised 
vehicle inspection and maintenance program for Weber County, and the 
revisions to rules R307-110-12 and R307-110-35. This action is being 
taken under section 110 of the Clean Air Act.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, 
EPA is approving the State's SIP revisions as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial SIP revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set

forth in the preamble to 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. EPA 
will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties 
interested in commenting must do so at this time. Please note that if 
EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of 
this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of 
the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are 
not the subject of an adverse comment.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before October 14, 2005.
