SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the New Mexico State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) at New Mexico Administrative Code 20.11.3, 
concerning transportation conformity rules for Bernalillo County, New 
Mexico. The plan revision is intended to ensure consistency with 
amendments to the federal Transportation Conformity Rule. These plan 
revisions meet statutory and regulatory requirements, and are 
consistent with EPA's guidance.

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before May 24, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Please see the related direct final rule, which is located

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document proposes to take action on SIP 
revisions submitted by the Governor of New Mexico on behalf of the 
Albuquerque Environmental Health Department. We have published a direct 
final rule approving the State's SIP revisions in the ``Rules and 
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register because we view this as 
a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse comment. We have 
explained our reasons for this action in the preamble to the direct 
final rule.
    If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action 
on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comment, we will withdraw 
the direct final rule and it will not take effect. We would address all 
public comments in any subsequent final rule based upon this proposed 
rule.
    We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this 
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. 
For further information, please see the information provided in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document.
