CDPHE requested EPA approval of revisions to the Colorado's Procedural Rules and Common Provisions Regulation. The revised rules include non-substantive updates to rule language that are administrative in nature and were intended to provide for general cleanup and improved readability. The EPA is proposing approval of these SIP revisions because we have determined that they are in accordance with the requirements for SIP provisions under the Clean Air Act (CAA). In the “Rules and Regulations” section of this <E T="04">Federal Register</E> , we are approving these SIP revisions as a direct final rule without a prior proposed rule. If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action on this proposed rule. </SUM> <EFFDATE> <HD SOURCE="HED">DATES:</HD> Written comments must be received on or before February 2, 2026. </EFFDATE> <HD SOURCE="HED">ADDRESSES:</HD> Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R08-OAR-2024-0550, to the Federal Rulemaking Portal: <E T="03">https://www.regulations.gov.</E> Follow the online instructions for submitting comments.
