ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[OH104-2b; FRL-5840-9]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Ohio Ozone
Maintenance Plan
AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule; Extension of the public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On May 14, 1997 USEPA published a direct final rule (62 FR
26396) approving, and an accompanying proposed rule (62 FR 26463)
proposing to approve a revision submitted on July 9, 1996 and January
31, 1997, to the ozone maintenance plans for the Dayton-Springfield
Area (Miami, Montgomery, Clark, and Greene Counties), Toledo Area
(Lucas and Wood Counties), Canton area (Stark County), Ohio portion of
the Youngstown-Warren-Sharon Area (Mahoning and Trumbell Counties),
Columbus Area (Franklin, Delaware, and Licking Counties), Cleveland-
Akron-Lorain Area (Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Summit,
Portage, and Geauga Counties), Preble County, Jefferson County,
Columbiana and Clinton Counties. The revision was based on a request
from the State of Ohio to revise the federally approved maintenance
plan for those areas to provide the state and the affected areas with
greater flexibility in choosing the appropriate ozone contingency
measures for each area in the event such a measure is needed. The USEPA
is announcing a 60 day extension of the public comment period on the
May 14, 1997 proposed rule. In the rules section of this Federal
Register, USEPA is delaying the effective date of the related final
rule to allow for a 60 day extension of the public comment period on
these maintenance plans.
DATES: Written comments on the May 14, 1997 proposed rule must be
received by August 12, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to: J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief,
Regulations Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18), at the
