Approval and Promulgation of Air

Quality Implementation Plans; Maine;

(Hancock and Waldo Counties Ozone

Maintenance Plan Revision—Motor

Vehicle Emissions Budgets)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

a State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision submitted by the State of

Maine. This revision establishes explicit

year 2006 motor vehicle emissions

budgets [Volatile Organic Compounds

the Hancock and Waldo counties ozone

maintenance area to be used in

determining transportation conformity.

In the final rules section of this Federal

Register, 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 and anticipates no adverse

comments. A detailed rationale for the

approval 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, 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final rule will be withdrawn and all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. EPA will

not institute a second comment period

on this proposal. Any parties interested

in commenting on this proposal should

do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before September 2, 1997.
