[Federal Register Volume 60, Number 175 (Monday, September 11, 1995)] [Proposed Rules] [Page 47138] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 95-22131] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 52 [CT-18-1-6482b; A-1-FRL-5271-4] Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation PlansConnecticut; PM10 Attainment Plan and Contingency Measures for New Haven AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Proposed rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: EPA is proposing full approval of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Connecticut to satisfy certain federal requirements for the New Haven initial PM10 nonattainment area. The purpose of this action is to bring about the attainment of the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 micrometers (PM10). EPA also proposes full approval of reasonable available control measures (RACM) and contingency measures for the New Haven initial PM10 moderate nonattainment area as established in this SIP revision, since Connecticut has demonstrated implementation of RACM will attain and maintain the PM10 NAAQS. Additionally, EPA proposes approval of Connecticut's adoption of the PM10 NAAQS and emergency episode regulation. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval 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 If EPA does receive adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this proposal. Any parties interested in commenting on this proposal should do so at this time. DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 11, 1995. ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Susan Studlien, Acting Director, Air, Pesticides and Toxics Management Division, EPA-New England, JFK Federal Bldg (AAA), Boston, MA 02203-2211.
