SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this Federal Register, the EPA is publishing a direct final rule 
without prior proposal to amend 40 CFR part 62 to reflect the States' 
submittals of the negative declarations. The EPA views this as a 
noncontroversial action and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed 
rationale for the action is set forth in the preamble to the direct 
final rule. If the EPA receives no adverse comments, EPA contemplates 
no further action. If the EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will 
withdraw the direct final rule and 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 must do so at this time. Please note that if 
the EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section 
of this rule, and if that provision may be severed from the remainder 
of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that 
are not the subject of an adverse comment. For additional information, 
see the direct final rule of the same title which is located in the 
``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register.
