ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Ohio State Implementation Plan (SIP) to rescind a rule which originally affected stationary combustion sources located within Priority I regions of the State and, new sources regardless of location. The rule revision we are proposing to approve also applies to nitric acid manufacture. EPA is proposing to approve this rule rescission because we agree with Ohio that the rescinded rule is no longer the limiting regulation for any oxides of nitrogen (NOX) emission units in the State. The rule was originally approved over 30 years ago and has been superseded by a number of State regulations and Federal Regulations of equivalent or more stringent nature. The Ohio NOX SIP Call rules and Federal emissions standards for utility and industrial units all have greater potential for reducing emissions of NOX and improving human health than does the State’s rescinded rule. Rescinding this rule removes any confusion in the affected community over which rule applies to NOX sources in Ohio. EPA believes that an approval of this rule revision request would have no adverse effect on air quality. DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 3, 2006.
