Clean Air Act Reclassification; California-Santa Barbara Nonattainment Area; Ozone

On September 2, 1997, EPA published a proposed rule (62 FR 46234) proposing to determine that the Santa Barbara moderate ozone nonattainment area has not attained the 1-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) by the Clean Air Act (CAA) mandated attainment date for moderate nonattainment areas, November 15, 1996. If EPA takes final action on the determination as proposed, the Santa Barbara ozone nonattainment area will be reclassified by operation of law as a serious nonattainment area. On September 24, 1997, the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District requested a 30-day extension of the comment period in order to allow a better opportunity for local stakeholders to provide input to EPA. In response to that request, EPA is announcing a 30-day extension of the public comment period on the September 2, 1997, proposed rule.
