ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: On July 27, 1994 the State of Texas submitted a maintenance plan and a request to redesignate the Victoria County, Texas ozone nonattainment area from nonattainment to attainment. Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), nonattainment areas may be redesignated to attainment if sufficient data are available to warrant the redesignation and the area meets the other CAA redesignation requirements. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving this exemption request as a direct final rulemaking without prior proposal because the EPA views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to that direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If the EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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. DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by April 6, 1995. ADDRESSES: Comments should be mailed to Guy R. Donaldson, Acting Chief, Air Planning Section (6T-AP), U.S. EPA Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733.
