ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R08-OAR-2005-CO-0002; FRL-8010-1]

 
Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality 
Implementation Plan Revision for Colorado; Long-Term Strategy of State 
Implementation Plan for Class I Visibility Protection

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the Governor of Colorado with a letter dated 
March 24, 2005. This revision updates the Long-Term Strategy of the 
Visibility SIP to establish strategies, activities, and monitoring 
plans that constitute reasonable progress toward the National 
visibility goal. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this 
Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP revision 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
