Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; New Jersey 1-hour Ozone Control Programs

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a request from New Jersey to revise its State Implementation Plan to incorporate revisions to Subchapter 16 "Control and Prohibition of Air Pollution by Volatile Organic Compounds." These revisions relate to the control of volatile organic compounds from mobile equipment repair and refinishing operations, solvent cleaning operations and refueling of motor vehicles at gasoline service stations. The intended effect is to reduce the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and thereby reduce ozone concentrations in the lower atmosphere.
