Determination of Attainment of the One-Hour Ozone Standard for the Poughkeepsie, New York Nonattainment Area and Determination Regarding Applicability of Certain Reasonable Further Progress and Attainment Demonstration Requirements

요약

The EPA proposes to find that the Poughkeepsie ozone nonattainment area in New York has attained the one-hour National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone and that certain reasonable further progress and attainment demonstration requirements, along with certain related requirements of Part D of Title I of the Clean Air Act are not applicable for as long as the area continues to attain the one-hour ozone standard. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is making these determinations without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial activity and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for this activity 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.
