Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; New Hampshire; Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program; Restructuring OTR Requirements

概要

EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the New Hampshire State Implementation Plan (SIP), which was submitted to EPA for approval on September 4, 1998 by the Department of Environmental Protection (DES). This submittal was supplemented by a letter dated November 20, 1998 describing additional information about the New Hampshire I/M program, and requesting further flexibility from requirements applicable to the Ozone Transport Region (OTR) in light of the current air quality status of the area. The SIP revision includes New Hampshire Code of Administrative Rules, Part Saf-C 3220 ``Official Motor Vehicle Inspection Requirements'' and Part Saf-C 5800 ``Roadside Diesel Opacity Inspection'' and additional supporting material including authorizing legislation, administrative items, and a description of the program being implemented. This action is being taken under section 110 of the Clean Air Act.
