ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On May 24, 2004, the State of
West Virginia submitted a request that
EPA redesignate the Weirton
nonattainment area (Weirton Area) to
attainment for the national ambient air
quality standards (NAAQS) for
particulate matter with an aerodynamic
diameter less than or equal to a nominal
10 micrometers (PM–10), and
concurrently requested approval of a
limited maintenance plan (LMP) as a
revision to the West Virginia State
Implementation Plan (SIP). In this
action, the EPA proposes to approve the
LMP for the Weirton Area in West
Virginia and grant the State’s request to
redesignate the area from nonattainment
to attainment. EPA’s proposed approval
is based on its determination that the
area has met the criteria for
redesignation for attainment specified in
the Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA is also
proposing to determine that, because the
Weirton Area has continued to attain
the PM–10 NAAQS, certain attainment
demonstration requirements, along with
other related requirements of the CAA,
are not applicable to the Weirton Area.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before June 12, 2006.
