Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 219 / Monday, November 13, 2000 / Proposed Rules 67675

Federal agencies and the States and

establishes specific review procedures

the Federal government must follow as

it carries out policies which affect state

or local governments. OSHA has

consulted extensively with New Jersey

throughout the development,

submission and consideration of its

proposed State plan. Although OSHA

has determined that the requirements

and consultation procedures provided

in Executive Order 13132 are not

applicable to initial approval decisions

under the Act, which have no effect

outside the particular State receiving the

approval, OSHA has reviewed the New

Jersey initial approval decision

proposed today, and believes it is

consistent with the principles and

criteria set forth in the Executive Order.

H. Authority

This document was prepared under

the direction of Charles N. Jeffress,

Assistant Secretary of Labor for

Occupational Safety and Health. It is

issued under section 18 of the OSH Act

(29 U.S.C. 667), 29 CFR part 1902, and

Secretary of Labor’s Order No. 3–2000

(65 FR 50017).

Signed at Washington, DC this 6th day of

November 2000.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

40 CFR Parts 52 and 81

[MI74–7282b; FRL–6896–4]

Approval and Promulgation of State

Implementation Plans; Michigan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) is proposing to adjust the

applicability date for reinstating the 1-

hour ozone National Ambient Air

Quality Standard (NAAQS) in Genesee,

Bay, Midland, and Saginaw Counties,

Michigan and is proposing on a

determination that these areas have

attained the 1-hour ozone NAAQS. This

determination is based on 3 consecutive

years of complete, quality-assured,

ambient air monitoring data for the

1997–1999 ozone seasons that

demonstrate that the areas have attained

the ozone NAAQS. On the basis of this

determination, EPA is also proposing

that certain attainment demonstration

requirements, and certain related

requirements of part D of subchapter I

of the Clean Air Act (CAA), do not

apply to Genesee, Bay, Midland, and

Saginaw Counties.

EPA is also proposing to approve the

State of Michigan’s request to

redesignate Genesee, Bay, Midland, and

Saginaw Counties to attainment for the

1-hour ozone NAAQS. Michigan

submitted the redesignation request for

these areas on May 9, 2000. EPA is also

proposing to approve the State’s plan for

maintaining the 1-hour ozone standard

for the next 10 years as a revision to the

Michigan State Implementation Plan

(SIP).

In the final rules section of this

Federal Register, EPA is approving the

State’s request as a direct final rule

without prior proposal because EPA

views this action as noncontroversial

and anticipates no adverse comments. A

detailed rationale for approving and

disapproving portions of the State’s

request is set forth in the direct final

rule. The direct final rule will become

effective without further notice unless

the Agency receives relevant adverse

written comment on this proposed rule

within 30 days of this publication.

Should EPA receive adverse comment,

it will publish a document informing

the public that the direct final rule will

not take effect and that EPA will address

adverse comments in a subsequent final

rule based on this proposed rule. If EPA

does not receive adverse comments, the

direct final rule will take effect on the

date stated in that document and EPA

will not take further action on this

proposed rule. EPA does not plan to

institute a second comment period on

this action. Any parties interested in

commenting on this document should

do so at this time.

DATES: EPA must receive written

comments by December 13, 2000.
