Approval and Promulgation of Air
Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; Revision to the
Inspection and Maintenance (I/M)
Program—Quality Assurance Protocol
for the Safety Inspection Program in
Non-I/M Counties
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
EPA proposes to approve the
State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the
purpose of changing the quality
assurance program for its motor vehicle
inspection and maintenance program
(I/M program). Specifically, the
Commonwealth is amending a provision
of its prior SIP-approved I/M program to
amend the duration of the timing of
quality assurance audits performed by
the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PENNDOT) as part of
their program oversight. The
amendment allows for these audits to be
conducted within five days of vehicle
inspection, instead of the two day
window allowed under the prior
approved SIP. In the Final Rules section
of this Federal Register, EPA is
approving the Commonwealth’s SIP
submittal as a direct final rule without
prior proposal because the Agency
views this as a noncontroversial
submittal and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for the
approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are
received in response to this action, no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA
receives adverse comments, the direct
final rule will be withdrawn and all
public comments received will be
addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. EPA will
not institute a second comment period.
Any parties interested in commenting
on this action should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments must be received in
writing by July 6, 2011.
