Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Maine; Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program in Kennebec, Knox, Lincoln, and Sagadahoc Counties

概要

EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan revision submitted by the State of Maine. This revision establishes and requires the inspection and maintenance of motor vehicles in the counties of Kennebec, Knox, Lincoln, and Sagadahoc. A revision requesting this approval was submitted by the State of Maine on November 1, 1993. This revision was supplemented by a May 17, 1994 letter from Maine requesting expedited approval of the portion of the Maine inspection and maintenance program not required by the EPA's final inspection and maintenance rule. This action will have a beneficial effect on air quality by reducing emissions in the counties of Kennebec, Knox, Lincoln, and Sagadahoc due to the implementation of a vehicle inspection and maintenance program. It is being taken under section 110 of the Clean Air Act. DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 25, 1994.
