Implementation Plan (SIP) revision of the Cuyahoga County carbon 
monoxide (CO) maintenance plan. The CO maintenance plan revision is an 
update to the current approved maintenance plan and continues to 
demonstrate maintenance of the CO National Ambient Air Quality Standard 
(NAAQS) for an additional 10 years. The maintenance plan revision is 
submitted as a limited maintenance plan for the Cuyahoga County, Ohio

Clean Air Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving 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 no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no 
further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should 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. For 
additional information, see the direct final rule which is located in 
the Rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: May 19, 2006.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 5.
