establishing a second 10-year maintenance plan for the Kentucky portion
of the Campbell-Clermont, Kentucky-Ohio maintenance area for the 2010
1-hour sulfur dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The EPA
is proposing to approve this SIP revision because the Commonwealth has

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules Section of this Federal
Register, the EPA is approving the Commonwealth's February 20, 2025,
SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no
adverse comments. The details of Kentucky's submission, as well as the
EPA's rationale for approval is described in more detail in the direct
final rule. If no
[[Page 60926]]
adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no further
activity is contemplated. If the 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direct final rule will be withdrawn, and all public comments received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. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this
document. Any parties interested in commenting on this document should
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, the 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 which is located in the Rules section of this Federal Register.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.
