Montana's designee submitted a Clean Air Act (CAA) section 175A(b) 
second 10-year limited maintenance plan for the Missoula area for the 
carbon monoxide (CO) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). 
This limited maintenance plan addresses maintenance of the CO NAAQS for 
a second 10-year period beyond the original redesignation. This action 
is being taken under sections 110 and 175A of the CAA.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 16, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
today's Federal Register, the EPA is approving Montana's SIP revision 
as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency 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 must do so at this time. For 
additional information, see the direct final action, with the same 
title, that is located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this 
issue of the Federal Register.

    Authority:  42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.
