Download as PDF mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with PROPOSALS Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 28 / Thursday, February 12, 2009 / Proposed Rules for implementing the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS for several of the limited portions of the rule vacated by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. The proposal addresses the classification system for the subset of initial 8-hour ozone nonattainment areas that the implementation rule originally covered under CAA title I, part D, subpart 1. The proposal also addresses how 1-hour ozone contingency measures that apply for failure to attain or make reasonable progress toward attainment of the 1hour standard should apply under the anti-backsliding provisions of the implementation rule. In addition, the proposal removes language relating to the vacated provisions of the rule that provided exemptions from the requirements of nonattainment NSR and CAA section 185 penalty fees under the 1-hour standard. Public Hearing: The proposal for which EPA is holding the public hearing was published in the Federal Register on January 16, 2009, (74 FR 2936) and is available at: https:// www.epa.gov/ttn/naaqs/ozone/ o3imp8hr/ and also in the docket identified below.

Written statements and supporting information submitted during the comment period will be considered with the same weight as any oral comments and supporting information presented at the public hearing.
