Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Delaware; 15 Percent Rate of Progress Plan

Zusammenfassung

We are proposing to convert our conditional approval of Delaware's State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision to achieve a 15 percent reduction in volatile organic compound emissions (the 15% plan) in its portion of the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Trenton (namely Kent and New Castle Counties) ozone nonattainment area to a full approval. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, we are converting our conditional approval of Delaware's 15% plan SIP revision to a full approval as a direct final rule because we view this as a noncontroversial amendment and because we anticipate no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If we receive no adverse comments, we will not undertake further action on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comments, we will withdraw the direct final rule, and it will not take effect. We will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. We will not institute a second comment period on this action. Anyone interested in providing comments on this action should do so at this time.
