Rescission of the Conditional Section 182(f) Exemption to the Nitrogen Oxides (NO‹INF›X‹/INF›) Control Requirements for the Dallas/ Fort Worth Ozone Nonattainment Area; Texas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing direct final rescission of the conditional section 182(f) exemption to the NO‹INF›X‹/INF› control requirements for the Dallas/Fort Worth ozone nonattainment area.

In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, we are rescinding the exemption as a direct final rule without prior proposal because we view this as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for this rescission in the preamble to the direct final rule. If we receive no relevant adverse comments, we will not take further action on this proposed rule. If we receive relevant adverse comments, we will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. We will address all relevant public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. We will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received by May 20, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Mr. Thomas H. Diggs, Chief, Air Planning Section (6PD-L), at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents relevant to this proposed rule are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the following locations. Interested persons wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment with the appropriate office at least 24 hours before the visiting day.
