Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;

Colorado; 1990 Base Year Carbon Monoxide Emission Inventories for

Colorado

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing approval of the 1990 base year carbon

monoxide (CO) emission inventories for Colorado Springs, Denver/

Longmont, and Fort Collins that were submitted by the State to satisfy

certain requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended in 1990. In

the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the

State's State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision as a direct final rule

without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a

noncontroversial revision amendment 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

this proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to

this rule. If 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be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a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. 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

January 22, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Richard R. Long,

Director, Air Program (8P2-A), United States Environmental Protection

Agency, Region 8, 999 18th Street, Suite 500, Denver, Colorado 80202-

2466
