Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of Louisiana; Clean Fuel Fleet Program

Resumo

The EPA is approving the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Louisiana for the purpose of establishing a Clean Fuel Fleet Program. The SIP revision was submitted by the State to satisfy the Federal mandate, found in the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA), to implement a program whereby at least a certain percentage of all newly acquired vehicles of certain on-road fleets in the Baton Rouge ozone nonattainment area, beginning with model year 1998, shall be lower pollution emitting vehicles, Clean Fuel Vehicles (CFV's). The rationale for the approval is set forth in this document.
