The SIP revision consists of the 2007 base year emissions inventory for the Liberty-Clairton Area for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA is also proposing to approve a SIP revision consisting of Pennsylvania’s determinations for both the 1997 annual and 2006 24-hour PM2.5 standards that onroad emissions of PM2.5 and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are insignificant contributors to PM2.5 concentrations in the Liberty-Clairton Area for transportation conformity purposes.

This maintenance plan addresses maintenance of the CO NAAQS for a second 10-year period beyond the original redesignation.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve 
the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the purpose of meeting the statutory 
emissions inventory requirements for the Liberty-Clairton nonattainment 
area (hereafter ``the Liberty-Clairton Area'' or ``the Area'') with 
respect the 2006 24-hour fine particulate matter (PM2.5) 
National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS or standard). The SIP 
revision consists of the 2007 base year emissions inventory for the 
Liberty-Clairton Area for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA 
is also proposing to approve a SIP revision consisting of 
Pennsylvania's determinations for both the 1997 annual and 2006 24-hour 
PM2.5 standards that onroad emissions of PM2.5 
and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are insignificant contributors to 
PM2.5 concentrations in the Liberty-Clairton Area for 
transportation conformity purposes. In the Final Rules section of this 
Federal Register, EPA is approving Pennsylvania'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. 
The publication of this document starts a 30-day public comment period 
on the adequacy of the submitted motor vehicle emission inventories. 
This comment period is concurrent with the comment period on this 
direct final rulemaking action. Any comments on the motor vehicle 
emission inventories should be submitted to the docket for this

direct final rule. Additionally, a more detailed description of the 
state submittal and EPA's evaluation is included in the Technical 
Support Documents (TSDs) prepared in support of this rulemaking action. 
A copy of the TSDs are available, upon request, from the EPA Regional 
Office listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document or is also 
available electronically within the Docket for this rulemaking action. 
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
