Statutory and Executive Order Reviews I. Background and Purpose On January 17, 2017, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) submitted a SIP revision regarding the 2008 ozone NAAQS for the Greater Connecticut moderate nonattainment area. On August 8, 2017, Connecticut DEEP submitted a SIP revision for the State’s portion of the New YorkNorthern New Jersey-Long Island (NYNJ-CT) moderate nonattainment area for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. On October 1, 2018, EPA published a final rulemaking (See 83 FR 49297) approving several portions of the January 17, 2017 and August 8, 2017 SIP submittals; the final rule approved reasonable further progress (RFP) demonstrations, motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs), reasonably available control measures (RACM) analyses, and contingency measures for the Greater Connecticut and the Connecticut portion of the NYNJ-CT moderate ozone nonattainment areas. In this proposed rulemaking action, we are proposing to approve submittals for the motor vehicle emissions inspection and maintenance (I/M) program certifications for the 2008 ozone NAAQS for both the Greater Connecticut and the Connecticut portion of the NY-NJ-CT moderate nonattainment areas. Although Connecticut’s January 17, 2017 and August 8, 2017 submittals also included attainment demonstrations for the 2008 ozone standard, we are not addressing those submittals in this proposed rulemaking. Additional background information can be found in our October 1, 2018 final rule (83 FR 49297), the final rule’s associated proposed rulemaking on August 3, 2018 (83 FR 38104), and at https:// www.regulations.gov within the Docket ID No. EPA–R01–OAR–2016–0168. II. Description of State’s I/M Program Certifications Under the 2008 ozone NAAQS requirements, Connecticut is required to implement a basic I/M program for light-duty motor vehicles. However, due to more stringent nonattainment designations under previous NAAQS and Connecticut’s inclusion as part of the Ozone Transport Region (OTR), Connecticut implements an enhanced I/ M program. The enhanced I/M program tests gasoline-fueled and diesel-fueled motor vehicles through 10,000 pounds E:\FR\FM\01FEP1.SGM 01FEP1
