Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; Arizona State Implementation Plan Revision

If no adverse comments are received in response to this proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final
