Proposed Settlement Agreement;

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania;

Enhanced Motor Vehicle Inspection

and Maintenance Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement

agreement.

SUMMARY: In accordance with section

113(g) of the Clean Air Act (‘‘Act’’), as

amended, 42 U.S.C. 7413(g), notice is

hereby given of a proposed settlement

agreement concerning litigation

instituted against the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) by the

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The

lawsuit concerns EPA’s conditional

interim approval of the

Commonwealth’s enhanced vehicle

inspection and maintenance (I/M)

program under section 182(c)(3) of the

Act. The parties have agreed to settle

this matter without litigation. The

proposed settlement agreement obligates

Pennsylvania to make certain additional

State Implementation Plan (SIP)

submissions, which EPA agrees to

propose to approve. The agreement

further obligates EPA to work with

Pennsylvania to develop an alternative

program evaluation methodology that

does not require the use of mass

emission testing technology, or in the

alternative to conditionally approve a

subsequent Pennsylvania I/M program

evaluation SIP submission if the parties

can not develop such a methodology

For a period of thirty (30) days

following the date of publication of this

notice, the Agency will receive written

comments relating to modified

settlement agreement. EPA or the

Department of Justice may withhold or

withdraw consent to the proposed

settlement agreement if the comments

disclose facts or circumstances that

indicate that such consent is

inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or

inconsistent with the requirements of

the Act.

and Radiation Law Office (2344), Office

of General Counsel, U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW,
