approve the limited maintenance plan submitted by the State of Oregon 
on April 22, 2015, for the Grants Pass maintenance area for particulate 
matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 
micrometers (PM10). The plan explains how this area will

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For further information, please see the 
direct final action, 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.
