[UT-001-0004b; FRL-5993-3]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;

Utah; 1993 Periodic Carbon Monoxide Emission Inventories for Utah

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing approval of the 1993 periodic carbon monoxide

(CO) emission inventories for Ogden City and Utah County (which

includes Provo-Orem) that were submitted by the Governor on November

12, 1997, as a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP), to

satisfy certain 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 relevant adverse comments are received in response to this

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

rule. If EPA receives relevant 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in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 in writing by May 14, 1998.

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-
