[VA092/098-5044b; FRL-6428-9]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Commonwealth of Virginia; Enhanced Inspection and Maintenance Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: We are proposing to convert our conditional approval of the Virginia enhanced inspection and maintenance (I/M) program as a revision to the Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP) to a full approval. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, we are converting our conditional approval as a direct final rule without prior proposal because we view this as a noncontroversial action and we anticipate no adverse comments. If we receive no adverse comments, we will not take further action on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comments, we will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. We will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. We will not institute a second comment period on this action. Anyone interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by October 1, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to David L. Arnold, Chief, Ozone & Mobile Sources Branch, Mailcode 3AP21, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.
