having first provided the funds to pay

those costs. This proposed rule would

not impose an unfunded mandate.

Taking of Private Property

This proposed rule would not effect a

taking of private property or otherwise

have implications for taking under E.O.

12630, Governmental Actions and

Interference with Constitutionally

Protected Property Rights.

Reform of Civil Justice

This proposed rule meets applicable

standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of

E.O. 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to

minimize litigation, eliminate

ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

We have analyzed this proposed rule

under E.O. 13045, Protection of

Children from Environmental Health

Risks and Safety Risks. This rule would

not be an economically significant rule

and would not create or condone an

environmental risk to health or safety

that may disproportionately affect

children.

Environment

We have considered the

environmental impact of this proposed

rule and concluded that under figure 2–

1, paragraph (34)(a), of Commandant

Instruction M16475.1C, the rule is

categorically excluded from further

environmental documentation. The rule

would merely adjust the threshold of

property damage for reports of accidents

involving recreational vessels. A

Determination of Categorical Exclusion

has been prepared and is available in

the docket where indicated under

ADDRESSES.

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing the date,

proposed approval of revisions to the

Florida State Implementation Plan (SIP)

concerning revisions to the ozone air

quality maintenance plans for the

Jacksonville (Duval County) and

Southeast Florida (Broward, Dade, and

Palm Beach Counties) areas. This

proposed revision removes the emission

reduction credits attributable to the

Motor Vehicle Inspection Program from

the future year emission projections

contained in those plans. EPA is also

reopening the comment period for a

proposed rule published March 17, 2000

(65 FR 14506) concerning this Florida

SIP revision.

DATES: Written comments must be

received by EPA on or before August 4,

2000. EPA will hold a public hearing at

the following time and at the address

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March

17, 2000, we solicited public comment

on a proposal for approval of revisions

to the Florida SIP concerning revisions

to the ozone air quality maintenance

plans for the Jacksonville (Duval

County) and Southeast Florida

(Broward, Dade, and Palm Beach

Counties) areas. This proposed revision

removes the emission reduction credits

attributable to the Motor Vehicle

Inspection Program from the future year

emission projections contained in those

plans. In response to requests from the

American Lung Association of Florida,

Inc., Environmental Defense, and David

B. Rivkin, Jr. as counsel for

Environmental Systems Products, Inc.,

on April 13, 2000 (65 FR 19865), EPA

extended the comment period until May

17, 2000. EPA subsequently received

requests to extend the comment period

further and to hold a public hearing.

Based on letters received in response

to proposal, we believe there is

significant public interest in the

proposed Florida SIP revision. EPA has

therefore decided to hold a public

hearing on the proposed revision to the

Florida SIP. The public hearing will be

held on July 20, 2000, at the South

Florida Water Management District

Auditorium, 3301 Gun Club Road, West

Palm Beach, Florida, starting at 6:00

p.m.

Persons planning to present oral

testimony at the hearing should notify

Joey Levasseur, EPA Region 4 Air

Planning Branch, 61 Forsyth Street, SW,

Atlanta, Georgia 30303, telephone 404/

562–9035, email levasseur.joey@epa.gov

no later than July 17, 2000. Oral

testimony will be limited to five

minutes for each presenter. Any

member of the public may file a written

statement before, during, or by the close

of the comment period. Written

statements (duplicate copies preferred)

should be submitted to Joey Levasseur

referencing Docket FL–83–200009c at

the above address. A verbatim transcript

of the hearing and written statements

will be made available for copying

during normal working hours at the

Region 4 office listed in the address

section. A reasonable charge may be

assessed for copying of docket materials.

To accommodate the public hearing,

we are also extending the deadline for

receiving written public comments on

the proposal until August 4, 2000, 15

days after the public hearing. Interested

persons are invited to attend the public

hearing and to comment on all aspects

of EPA’s proposed rulemaking.
