Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; New York State Implementation Plan Revision

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes approval of a request from New York to revise its State Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone to incorporate revisions to Subpart 227-2 "Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for Oxides of Nitrogen (NO X )" of Part 227 "Stationary Combustion Installations" of Title 6 of the Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York (6NYCRR). The revision relates to the control of oxides of nitrogen emissions from stationary industrial sources. This SIP revision consists of a control measure needed to meet the shortfall in emissions reduction identified by EPA in New York's one-hour ozone attainment demonstration SIP. The intended effect of this proposed rule is to approve a control strategy which will result in emission reductions that will help achieve attainment of the national ambient air quality standard for ozone required by the Clean Air Act.
