submitted to EPA a revised maintenance plan for the Ca[ntilde]on City 
area for the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for 
particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 
10 microns (PM10), which was adopted by the State on 
November 20, 2008. As required by Clean Air Act (CAA) section 175A(b), 
this revised maintenance plan addresses maintenance of the 
PM10 standard for a second 10-year period beyond the area's 
original redesignation to attainment for the PM10 NAAQS. In 
addition, EPA is also proposing approval of the revised maintenance 
plan's 2020 transportation conformity motor vehicle emissions budget 
for PM10. This action is being taken under sections 110 and 
175A of the CAA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP revision through 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. Then, 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. See the information provided in the direct final rule 
of the same title which is located in the Rules section of this Federal 
Register.

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.
