Ozone Standard by the Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley and Reading Ozone
Nonattainment Areas and Determination Regarding Applicability of
Certain Reasonable Further Progress and Attainment Demonstration
Requirements
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to determine that the Pittsburgh-Beaver
Valley and Reading ozone nonattainment areas have attained the National
Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone and that certain
reasonable further progress and attainment demonstration requirements,
along with certain related requirements, of Part D of Title I of the
Clean Air Act are not applicable for so long as these areas continue to
attain the ozone standard. In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is making these determinations without prior proposal. A
detailed rationale for the action is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to that direct
final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this
proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will withdraw the
direct final rule and address the comments in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment
period on this notice. Any parties interested in commenting on this
notice should do so at this time.
