ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[AZ 47-1-6945b; FRL-5191-2]
Proposed Approval of Implementation Plans; Arizona--State
Implementation Plan Revision, Maricopa Nonattainment Area; Basic and
Enhanced Inspection and Maintenance Program for Carbon Monoxide and
Ozone
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Arizona State
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern the implementation of both a
basic inspection/maintenance (I/M) and enhanced I/M program to be
implemented in ozone and carbon monoxide (CO) nonattainment areas of
Arizona.
The intended effect of proposing approval of this SIP is to control
emissions of CO and ozone precursors in accordance with the
requirements of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).
In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is
approving the state's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision
amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for
this approval is set forth in the direct final rule. 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 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 action should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by
June 7, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to:
Roxanne Johnson, Mobile Source Section (A-2-1), Air and Toxics
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne
Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.
Copies of the SIP revision and EPA's evaluation of the SIP are
available for public inspection at EPA's Region 9 office during normal
business hours. Copies of the submitted SIP revisions are also
available for inspection at the following locations: Arizona Department
of Environmental Quality, Air Quality Division, 3033 North Central
Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85012, Telephone: (602) 207-2300.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Roxanne Johnson, Mobile Sources
Section, A-2-1, Air and Toxics Division, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105,
Telephone: (415) 744-1225.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document concerns an Arizona Department
of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) SIP revision to implement a basic and
enhanced I/M program in CO and ozone nonattainment areas of Arizona.
Because the Arizona legislature required upgrades for an enhanced I/M
program that began January 3, 1995 which is currently running and
operating smoothly, and because the State submitted a fully approvable
SIP revision, the EPA decided to approve and take direct final action
on the SIP submittal. For further information, please see the
information provided in the direct final action which is located in the
Rules Section of this Federal Register.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.
Dated: April 5, 1995.
John Wise,
Acting Regional Administrator.
