On April 2, 1996, the EPA proposed approval of Michigan's request to redesignate the Grand Rapids moderate ozone nonattainment area to attainment for ozone and associated section 175A maintenance plan revision to the Michigan State Implementation Plan (SIP) contingent on the State's submittal of a revision to the maintenance plan to incorporate 3 additional control programs to the list of contingency measures. On April 19, 1996, the EPA received a request for an extension of the public comment period based on the fact that the revision to the section 175A maintenance plan SIP was not available in the EPA's docket until April 15, 1996. Since the revision to the section 175A maintenance plan SIP revision was not available for approximately the first two weeks of the public comment period, the EPA is extending the comment period only on the aspects of the redesignation and corresponding section 175A maintenance plan SIP revision components pertaining to the State's revision to the maintenance plan submitted on April 15, 1996 for 14 days. The public comment period pertaining to the other components of the redesignation request and maintenance plan SIP revision are not extended and comments on these components are due to EPA by May 2, 1996. DATES: Comments on the aspects of the April 2, 1996, (61 FR 14522) proposed action on the redesignation and corresponding section 175A maintenance plan pertaining to the State's April 15, 1996 SIP revision must be received in writing by May 16, 1996.
