ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[OH69–1–6680b; FRL–5175–3]

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans Ohio; Enhanced

Motor Vehicle Inspection and

Maintenance Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The USEPA is taking action to

approve, through a direct final

procedure, the State implementation

plan (SIP) revision submitted by the

State of Ohio for the purpose of

controlling the motor vehicle emissions

of hydrocarbons. Emissions will be

controlled by implementing an

enhanced inspection and maintenance

(I/M) program in areas classified as

moderate nonattainment. The State

currently operates I/M programs in the

Cleveland and Cincinnati areas to

achieve reductions in emissions of

carbon monoxide and volatile organic

compounds. The program proposed here

calls for enhanced I/M in the

metropolitan areas of Cleveland-AkronLorain, Cincinnati, and DaytonSpringfield which are moderate

nonattainment areas for ozone.

Moderate nonattainment areas are

required to implement a basic I/M

program. These areas have opted up to

enhanced I/M because of the greater

cost-effective emission reduction

available compared to basic programs.

The USEPA is approving the State’s I/

M SIP revision as a direct final rule

without prior proposal because the

USEPA views this as a noncontroversial

action and anticipates no critical or

adverse comments.

In the final rules section of this

Federal Register, USEPA is approving

the State’s SIP revision request as a

direct final rule without prior proposal

because USEPA views the approval of

the inspection and maintenance

program as noncontroversial and

anticipates no adverse comments. A

detailed rationale for the approval is set

forth in the direct final rule. If no

adverse or critical comments are

received in response to the direct final

rule, no further activity is contemplated

in regards to this proposed rule. If

USEPA 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and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. The

USEPA will institute a second comment

period on this action only if warranted

by revisions to the rulemaking based on

comments received. Any parties

interested in commenting on this notice

should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before May 4, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be mailed to: William L. MacDowell,

Chief, Regulation Development Section,

40 CFR Parts 52 and 81

[IL116–1–6792b; FRL–5182–4]

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans and Designation

of Areas for Air Quality Planning

Purposes; Illinois

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The United States

Environmental Protection Agency

(USEPA) is approving a State

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision

request to redesignate two sulfur

dioxide (SO2) nonattainment areas in

the State of Illinois to attainment. The

USEPA is also approving their

accompanying maintenance plans as SIP

revisions. The redesignation requests

and maintenance plans were submitted

by the Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency (IEPA) for the following SO2

nonattainment areas: Peoria County

(Hollis and Peoria Townships) and

Tazewell County (Groveland

Township). The State has met the

requirements for redesignation

contained in the Clean Air Act (the Act),

as amended in 1990. The redesignation

requests are based on ambient

monitoring data that show no violations

of the SO2 National Ambient Air Quality

Standard (NAAQS). In the final rules

section of this Federal Register, the

USEPA is approving the State’s

redesignation requests and the

supporting maintenance plans as a

direct final rule without prior proposal

because USEPA views this as a

noncontroversial revision amendment

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 USEPA

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. USEPA

will not institute a second comment

period on this notice. Any parties

interested in commenting on this notice

should do so at this time. Adverse

comments received concerning a

specific geographic area, Peoria or

Tazewell Counties, will only affect this

final rule as it pertains to that area and

only the portion of this final rule

concerning the area receiving adverse

comments will be withdrawn.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule

must be received on or before May 4,

1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief,

Regulatory Development Section,

Regulatory Development Branch (AR18–

J), U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson

Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

Copies of the State submittal and

USEPA’s analysis of it are available for

FEDERAL EMERGENCY

MANAGEMENT AGENCY

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket No. FEMA–7130]

Proposed Flood Elevation

Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency

Management Agency, FEMA.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: Technical information or

comments are requested on the

proposed base (100-year) flood

elevations and proposed base flood

elevation modifications for the

communities listed below. The base

(100-year) flood elevations are the basis

for the floodplain management

measures that the community is

required either to adopt or to show

evidence of being already in effect in

order to qualify or remain qualified for

participation in the National Flood

Insurance Program (NFIP).

DATES: The comment period is ninety

(90) days following the second

publication of this proposed rule in a

newspaper of local circulation in each

community.

ADDRESSES: The proposed base flood

elevations for each community are

available for inspection at the office of

the Chief Executive Officer of each

community. The respective addresses

are listed in the following table.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Michael K. Buckley, P.E., Chief, Hazard

Identification Branch, Mitigation

Directorate, 500 C Street, SW.,

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2756.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Federal Emergency Management Agency

(FEMA or Agency) proposes to make

determinations of base (100-year) flood

elevations and modified base flood

elevations for each community listed

below, in accordance with section 110

of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of

1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR

67.4(a).

These proposed base flood and

modified base flood elevations, together

with the floodplain management criteria

required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the

minimum that are required. They

should not be construed to mean that

the community must change any

existing ordinances that are more

stringent in their floodplain

management requirements. The

community may at any time enact

stricter requirements of its own, or

pursuant to policies established by other

Federal, state or regional entities. These

proposed elevations are used to meet

the floodplain management

requirements of the NFIP and are also

used to calculate the appropriate flood

insurance premium rates for new

buildings built after these elevations are

made final, and for the contents in these

buildings.

National Environmental Policy Act

This proposed rule is categorically

excluded from the requirements of 44

CFR part 10, Environmental

Consideration. No environmental

impact assessment has been prepared.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Associate Director, Mitigation

Directorate, certifies that this proposed

rule is exempt from the requirements of

the Regulatory Flexibility Act because

proposed or modified base flood

elevations are required by the Flood

Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42

U.S.C. 4104, and are required to

establish and maintain community

eligibility in the National Flood

Insurance Program. As a result, a

regulatory flexibility analysis has not

been prepared.

Regulatory Classification

This proposed rule is not a significant

regulatory action under the criteria of

section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 of

September 30, 1993, Regulatory

Planning and Review, 58 FR 51735.

Executive Order 12612, Federalism

This proposed rule involves no

policies that have federalism

implications under Executive Order

12612, Federalism, dated October 26,

1987.

Executive Order 12778, Civil Justice

Reform

This proposed rule meets the

applicable standards of section 2(b)(2) of

Executive Order 12778.
