is proposing to approve the 8-hour
ozone redesignation request for the
Christian County, Kentucky portion of
the Clarksville-Hopkinsville 8-hour
ozone nonattainment area. Additionally,
EPA is proposing to approve the 8-hour
ozone maintenance plan for Christian
County, Kentucky. This proposed
approval is based on EPA’s
determination that the Commonwealth
of Kentucky has demonstrated that
Christian County, Kentucky has met the
criteria for redesignation to attainment
specified in the Clean Air Act (CAA),
including the determination that the
entire Clarksville-Hopkinsville 8-hour
ozone nonattainment area has attained
the 8-hour ozone standard. On June 29,
2005, the State of Tennessee submitted
a redesignation request and
maintenance plan for the Montgomery,
Tennessee portion of this area for EPA
parallel processing. In this action, EPA
is also providing information on the
status of its transportation conformity
adequacy determination for the new
motor vehicle emission budgets
(MVEBs) for the years 2004 and 2016
that are contained in the 12-year 8-hour
ozone maintenance plan for Christian
County, Kentucky. EPA is proposing to
approve such MVEBs. In the Final Rules
section of this Federal Register, EPA is
taking action to approve the
redesignation request and maintenance
plan without prior proposal. A detailed
rationale for the redesignation and other
actions is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are
received in response to this action, no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA
receives adverse comments, the direct
final rulemaking will be withdrawn and
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 document. Any parties
interested in commenting on this
document should do so at this time.
