[NH–45–7172b; A–1–FRL–6906–3]

Approval and Promulgation of Air

Quality Implementation Plans and

Designations of Areas for Air Quality

Planning Purposes; State of New

Hampshire; Revision to the Carbon

Monoxide State Implementation Plan,

City of Nashua; Carbon Monoxide

Redesignation Request, Maintenance

Plan, Transportation Conformity

Budget, and Emissions Inventory for

the City of Nashua; Carbon Monoxide

Redesignation Request, Maintenance

Plan, Transportation Conformity

Budget, and Emissions Inventory for

the City of Manchester

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) is proposing to

redesignate the Nashua, New Hampshire

nonattainment area to attainment for the

carbon monoxide (CO) air quality

standard and is proposing to approve a

Maintenance Plan that will insure that

the Nashua area remains in attainment.

The EPA is also proposing to

redesignate the Manchester, New

Hampshire nonattainment area to

attainment for the CO air quality

standard and is proposing to approve a

maintenance plan that will insure that

the Manchester area remains in

attainment. Under the Clean Air Act, as

amended in 1990 (the CAA),

designations can be revised if sufficient

data are available to warrant such

revisions and the request to redesignate

shows that all of the requirements of

section 107(d)(E)(3) of the CAA have

been met. EPA is proposing to approve

the New Hampshire maintenance plans

and other redesignation submittals

because they meet the maintenance plan

and redesignation requirements, and

will ensure that the two areas remain in

attainment. The approved maintenance

plans will become a federally

enforceable part of the New Hampshire

State Implementation Plan (SIP). In this

action, EPA is also proposing to approve

the New Hampshire 1990 baseline

emission inventories for both of these

areas, transportation conformity budgets

for both areas and a revision to the

inspection and maintenance (I/M) SIP

approved for the Nashua area.

In the Final Rules Section of this

Federal Register, EPA is approving the

State’s SIP submittal as a direct final

rule without a prior proposal because

the Agency views this as a

noncontroversial submittal and

anticipates no adverse comments. A

detailed rationale for the approval is set

forth in the direct final rule. If no

relevant adverse comments are received

in response to this rule, no further

activity is contemplated. If EPA receives

relevant 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.

Any parties interested in commenting

on this action should do so at this time.

Please note that if EPA receives adverse

comment on an amendment, paragraph,

or section of this rule and if that

provision may be severed from the

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt

as final those provisions of the rule that

are not the subject of an adverse

comment.

DATES: Written comments must be

received on or before December 29,

2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to

Planning Unit, Office of Ecosystem

Protection (mail code CAQ), U.S.

Petition by American Samoa for

Exemption From Anti-Dumping

Requirements for Conventional

Gasoline

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency (‘‘EPA’’ or ‘‘the Agency’’) is

proposing to grant a petition by the

Territory of American Samoa for

exemption from the anti-dumping

requirements for gasoline sold in the

United States after 1995. This action is

being taken because compliance with

the anti-dumping requirements is not

feasible or is unreasonable due to

American Samoa’s unique geographic

location and economic factors. If the

gasoline anti-dumping exemption were

not granted, American Samoa would be

required to import gasoline from

suppliers meeting the anti-dumping

requirements, adding a considerable

expense to gasoline purchased by the

American Samoa consumer. American

Samoa is in full attainment with the

National Ambient Air Quality Standard

(‘‘NAAQS’’) for ozone. This action is not

expected to cause harmful

environmental effects to the citizens of

American Samoa.

DATES: Comments on this proposed final

decision must be received in writing by

December 29, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Materials relevant to this

petition are available for inspection in

public docket A–99–17 at the Air

Docket Office of the EPA, Room M–

1500, 401 M Street, SW., Washington,

DC 10460, (202) 260–7548, between the

hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday

through Friday. A duplicate public

docket A–91–40 has been established at

U.S. EPA Region IX, 75 Hawthorne

Street (Mail Code: A–2–1), 17th Floor,

San Francisco, CA 94105, (415) 744–

1225, and is available between the hours

of 8:30 a.m. to noon, and from 1 p.m.

to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. As

provided in 40 CFR part 2, a reasonable

fee may be charged for copying services.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For more

detailed information on this proposal,

please see EPA’s Direct Final Rule

published in the Final Rules section of

this Federal Register which approves

American Samoa’s petition for

exemption from the gasoline antidumping regulations. The Agency views

this direct final rule as a

noncontroversial action for the reasons

discussed in the Direct Final Rule

published in today’s Federal Register. If

no adverse or critical comments or

request for a public hearing are received

in response to this proposal, no further

action is contemplated in relation to this

rule. If EPA receives adverse or critical

comments, EPA will withdraw the

Direct Final Rule by publishing an

appropriate document in the Federal

Register, and all public comments

received will be addressed in a

subsequent document. If a request for a

public hearing is received, this will be

addressed in a subsequent Federal

Register notice. 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.

Dated: November 17, 2000.
