Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;

Texas; Control of Air Pollution From Motor Vehicles

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Texas State

Implementation Plan (SIP) that amend Title 30 of the Texas

Administrative Code (TAC), Chapter 114, Control of Air Pollution from

Motor Vehicles. The State submitted these revisions on May 15, 2006,

October 10, 2006, January 17, 2008, and February 28, 2008. These revisions establish the Rebate Grant Process and the Texas Clean School

Bus Program under the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP), further amend the TERP, and amend the Locally Enforced Motor Vehicle Idling

Limitations. The EPA is proposing to approve these SIP revisions because they allow for clarity and consistency of the SIP requirements.

The EPA is proposing to approve these revisions pursuant to section 110 of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before May 10, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Mr. Guy Donaldson, Chief, Air

Planning Section (6PD-L), Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal

Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal 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 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

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