40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R06-OAR-2017-0077; FRL-9974-50--Region 6]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas; 
Approval of Texas Motor Vehicle Rule Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act), the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions 
submitted by the State of Texas that affect the Texas State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning Texas' motor vehicle air pollution 
rules and retail gasoline dispensing labeling requirements for El Paso. 
The revisions are non-substantive in nature and do not affect 
implementation of federal requirements.

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before March 29, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by EPA-R06-OAR-2017-0077, 
at http://www.regulations.gov or via email to walser.john@epa.gov. For 
additional information on how to submit comments see the detailed 
instructions in the ADDRESSES section of the direct final rule located 
in the rules section of this Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. John Walser, (214) 665-7128, 
walser.john@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal 
Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct 
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 the EPA receives 
relevant adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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. The 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 which is 
located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: February 22, 2018.
