Approval and Promulgation of Air
Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; Update of the Motor
Vehicle Emissions Budgets for the
Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton 1997
8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standard Maintenance Area
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve
revisions to the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania’s (Pennsylvania) State
Implementation Plan (SIP). The
revisions consist of an update to the SIP
approved Motor Vehicle Emissions
Budgets (MVEBs) for nitrogen oxides
(NOX) for the 1997 8-Hour Ozone
National Ambient Air Quality Standard
(NAAQS) SIP for the AllentownBethlehem-Easton 1997 8-Hour Ozone
NAAQS Maintenance Area (Allentown
Maintenance Area). Also, part of this
SIP revision is an update to the point
source inventory for NOX. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all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 June 16, 2014.
