Clean Air Act Promulgation of Reclassification of PM10 Nonattainment AreasConnecticut; Approval of 1-Year Extension of Attainment Date for New Haven

Zusammenfassung

EPA is proposing full approval of Connecticut's request for a 1-year extension of the attainment date for the New Haven PM10 nonattainment area. This action is based on monitored air quality data for the national ambient air quality standard for PM10 during the years 1992-94. This action is being taken under the Clean Air Act. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the Connecticut's extension request as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision 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 If EPA does receive adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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 on this proposal. Any parties interested in commenting on this proposal should do so at this time.
