ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Florida State Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning the maintenance plans addressing the 1997 8-hour ozone standards for the Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, and Southeast Florida 1997 8-hour ozone attainment areas in Florida, hereafter referred to as the ‘‘Jacksonville Area,’’ ‘‘Tampa Bay Area,’’ and ‘‘Southeast Florida Area,’’ respectively. The Jacksonville Area is comprised of Duval County; the Tampa Bay Area comprises Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties; and the Southeast Florida Area comprises Broward, Dade, and Palm Beach Counties. These maintenance plans were submitted to EPA on July 2, 2009, by the State of Florida, through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and ensure the continued attainment of the 1997 8hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) through the year 2014 in the Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, and Southeast Florida Areas. EPA is proposing to approve the SIP revisions pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air Act. These maintenance plans appear to meet all the statutory and regulatory requirements, and are consistent with EPA’s guidance. On March 12, 2008, EPA issued revised ozone standards. On September 16, 2009, EPA announced it would reconsider the 2008 NAAQS for ozone and proposed a new schedule for designations for a reconsidered standard. EPA published a proposed rulemaking on January 19, 2010, for reconsideration of the 2008 NAAQS, and expects to finalize the reconsidered NAAQS by August 2010.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Florida State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning the maintenance plans addressing 
the 1997 8-hour ozone standards for the Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, and 
Southeast Florida 1997 8-hour ozone attainment areas in Florida, 
hereafter referred to as the ``Jacksonville Area,'' ``Tampa Bay Area,'' 
and ``Southeast Florida Area,'' respectively. The Jacksonville Area is 
comprised of Duval County; the Tampa Bay Area comprises Hillsborough 
and Pinellas Counties; and the Southeast Florida Area comprises 
Broward, Dade, and Palm Beach Counties. These maintenance plans were 
submitted to EPA on July 2, 2009, by the State of Florida, through the 
Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and ensure the 
continued attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone national ambient air 
quality standards (NAAQS) through the year 2014 in the Jacksonville, 
Tampa Bay, and Southeast Florida Areas. EPA is proposing to approve the 
SIP revisions pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air Act. These 
maintenance plans appear to meet all the statutory and regulatory 
requirements, and are consistent with EPA's guidance. On March 12, 
2008, EPA issued revised ozone standards. On September 16, 2009, EPA 
announced it would reconsider the 2008 NAAQS for ozone and proposed a 
new schedule for designations for a reconsidered standard. EPA 
published a proposed rulemaking on January 19, 2010, for 
reconsideration of the 2008 NAAQS, and expects to finalize the 
reconsidered NAAQS by August 2010. The current proposed action, 
however, is being taken to address requirements under the 1997 8-hour 
ozone standards. Requirements for the Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, and 
Southeast Florida Areas under the 2010 reconsidered ozone standards 
will be addressed in the future.
