Environmental Quality (TCEQ) respectively on December 17, 1999 and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the rules section of this Federal

Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as non- controversial submittal 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 action no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

For additional information see the direct final rule, located in the rules section of this Federal Register.
