ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve 
the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of 
West Virginia for the 2011 base year emissions inventory for the 2010 
1-hour sulfur dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air Quality 
Standard (NAAQS). 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 more 
detailed description of the state submittal and EPA's evaluation is 
included in a Technical Support Document (TSD) prepared in support of 
this rulemaking action. A copy of the TSD is available, upon request, 
from the EPA Regional Office listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 
document and is also available electronically within the Docket for 
this rulemaking action. If no 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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.

encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the 
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some 
information is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other information 
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such 
as copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be 
publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket 
materials are available either electronically in www.regulations.gov or
