Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;

Colorado; 1993 Periodic Carbon Monoxide Emission Inventories for

Colorado

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision submitted by the Governor of the State of Colorado on

September 16, 1997. The revision contains the 1993 periodic carbon

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

Collins, and Longmont that were submitted to satisfy the requirements

of section 187(a)(5) 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 SIP revision as 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 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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 must be received on or before August 14, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be mailed to Richard R. Long, Director,

Air Program, Mailcode 8P2-A, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),

Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite 500, Denver, Colorado 80202. Copies
