Delaware for the purpose of approving Delaware's adopted Low Emission

light-duty trucks, and medium-duty highway vehicles titled in Delaware 
meet stringent California emission standards in lieu of Federal 
emission standards. In the Final Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving Delaware'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. Delaware first adopted these standards in 2010 and has required 
compliance with Delaware LEV standards beginning with model year 2014 
vehicles, and has recently updated its rules to reflect California's 
third generation, or LEV III vehicle standards. Although already in

program into the Federal State Implementation Plan. If no adverse 
comments are received in response to this action, no further activity 
is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final
