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

摘要

EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Maine State Implementation Plan (SIP), which was submitted to EPA for approval on November 19, 1998 by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). This submittal requested 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 sections of the ``Maine Safety Inspection Manual,'' and additional supporting material including detailed authorizing legislation (L.D. 2223, ``An Act to Reduce Air Pollution from Motor Vehicles and to Meet Requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act''), administrative items, and a description of the program being implemented. This action is being taken under Section 110 of the Clean Air Act.
