Approval And Promulgation Of Implementation Plans and Designation
of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Michigan; Extension of
Comment Period
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; extension of the comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is extending the comment period for a proposed action
published on April 2, 1996 (61 FR 14522) pertaining to the Grand Rapids
moderate ozone nonattainment area. On April 2, 1996, the EPA proposed
approval of Michigan's request to redesignate the Grand Rapids moderate
ozone nonattainment area to attainment for ozone and associated section
175A maintenance plan revision to the Michigan State Implementation
Plan (SIP) contingent on the State's submittal of a revision to the
maintenance plan to incorporate 3 additional control programs to the
list of contingency measures. On April 19, 1996, the EPA received a
request for an extension of the public comment period based on the fact
that the revision to the section 175A maintenance plan SIP was not
available in the EPA's docket until April 15, 1996. Since the revision
to the section 175A maintenance plan SIP revision was not available for
approximately the first two weeks of the public comment period, the EPA
is extending the comment period only on the aspects of the
redesignation and corresponding section 175A maintenance plan SIP
revision components pertaining to the State's revision to the
maintenance plan submitted on April 15, 1996 for 14 days. The public
comment period pertaining to the other components of the redesignation
request and maintenance plan SIP revision are not extended and comments
on these components are due to EPA by May 2, 1996.
DATES: Comments on the aspects of the April 2, 1996, (61 FR 14522)
proposed action on the redesignation and corresponding section 175A
maintenance plan pertaining to the State's April 15, 1996 SIP revision
must be received in writing by May 16, 1996.
