[EPA-R10-OAR-2014-0388 FRL-9913-85-Region 10]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; Idaho:
Portneuf Valley PM10 Maintenance Plan Amendment to the Motor
Vehicle Emissions Budgets
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct
final action to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the State of Idaho (Idaho or the State) on April 21, 2014,
to amend the Portneuf Valley maintenance plan for particulate matter
with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10
micrometers (PM10). The SIP revision updates the on-road
motor vehicle emissions inventory and motor vehicle emissions budgets
(MVEBs) using the EPA's Motor Vehicle Emissions Simulator (MOVES2010b)
and the most recent road dust emission factors. This rulemaking action
approves the SIP revision and thereby makes the MVEBs available for
transportation conformity purposes. The EPA is approving this SIP
revision because it is consistent with the Clean Cir Act (CAA).
DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 18, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For further information, please see the
direct final action, of the same title, which is located in the Rules
section of this Federal Register. The EPA is approving the State's SIP
revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the EPA
views this as a noncontroversial SIP revision and anticipates no
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in
the preamble to the direct final rule. If the EPA receives no adverse
comments, the EPA will not take further action on this proposed rule.
If the EPA receives adverse comments, the EPA will withdraw the
direct final rule and it will not take effect. The EPA will address all
public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.
The 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. Please note that if we receive adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, the EPA may adopt as final those
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
Dated: July 2, 2014.

Regional Administrator, Region 10.
