Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 168 / Wednesday, August 30, 2006 / Proposed Rules specific to such communities exist that would cause an impact on these communities beyond those discussed in the other sections of this rule. This proposed rule merely makes a revision to the regulations to correct typographical errors, revise references, restore sections, conciliate provisions with our nonroad engine regulations and remove old provisions for highway heavy-duty diesel engines. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this rule. See the direct final rule EPA has published in the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of today’s Federal Register for a more extensive discussion of Executive Order 13132. G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental Health and Safety Risks This proposed rule is not subject to the Executive Order because it is not economically significant, and does not involve decisions on environmental health or safety risks that may disproportionately affect children. See the direct final rule EPA has published in the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of today’s Federal Register for a more extensive discussion of Executive Order 13045. H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, ‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001)) because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act This proposed rule does not involve technical standards. It merely makes a revision to the regulations to correct typographical errors, revise references, restore sections, conciliate provisions with our nonroad engine regulations and remove old provisions for highway heavy-duty diesel engines. Thus, we have determined that the requirements of the NTTAA do not apply. See the direct final rule EPA has published in the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of today’s Federal Register for a more extensive discussion of NTTAA policy. J. Statutory Authority The statutory authority for this action comes from section 202 of the Clean Air Act as amended (42 U.S.C. 7521). This action is a notice of proposed rulemaking subject to the provisions of Clean Air Act section 307(d). See 42 U.S.C. 7607(d).

Today, EPA is proposing to determine that the Allen County, Indiana ozone nonattainment area has attained the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. This determination is based on three years of complete, quality-assured ambient air quality monitoring data for the 2003–2005 ozone seasons that demonstrate that the 8-hour ozone NAAQS has been attained in the area. EPA is also proposing to approve Indiana’s request to redesignate the area to attainment for the 8-hour ozone standard and the State’s maintenance plan SIP revision. EPA’s proposed approval of the 8-hour ozone redesignation request is based on its determination that Allen County, Indiana has met the criteria for redesignation to attainment specified in the Clean Air Act. EPA is also proposing to approve, for purposes of transportation conformity, the motor vehicle emission budgets (MVEBs) for the year 2020 that are contained in the 14-year 8-hour ozone maintenance plan for Allen County.
