ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R10-OAR-2015-0322; FRL-9931-12-Region 10]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: Oregon: 
Grants Pass Carbon Monoxide Limited Maintenance Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve a carbon monoxide Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP) for Grants 
Pass, submitted on April 22, 2015, by the State of Oregon as a revision 
to its State Implementation Plan (SIP). In accordance with the 
requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the EPA is proposing to 
approve this SIP revision because it demonstrates that Grants Pass will 
continue to meet the carbon monoxide National Ambient Air Quality 
Standards (NAAQS) for a second 10-year period beyond re-designation, 
through 2025.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 27, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For further information, please see the 
direct final rule, of the same title, which is located in the Rules 
section of this Federal Register. The EPA is simultaneously approving 
the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal 
because the EPA 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 the EPA 
receives no adverse comments, the EPA will not take further action on 
this proposed rule.
    If the EPA receives adverse comments, the EPA will withdraw the 
direct final rule and it will not take effect. The EPA will address all 
public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. 
The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this 
time. Please note that if we receive adverse comment on an amendment, 
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed 
from the remainder of the rule, the EPA may adopt as final those 
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

    Dated: July 8, 2015.
Dennis J. McLerran,
Regional Administrator, Region 10.
