Update of Continuous Instrumental Test Methods; Correction
EPA published a final rule in the Federal Register on May 22, 2008, that made technical corrections to five test methods. Inadvertent printing errors were made in the publication.

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Kentucky; NOX
EPA is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the Commonwealth of Kentucky on September 12, 2005, and March 24, 2006. The first revision provides Kentucky's response to EPA's regulations entitled, ``Finding of Significant Contribution and Rulemaking for Certain States in Ozone Transport Assessment Group Region for Purposes of Reducing Regional Transport of Ozone,'' otherwise known as the ``Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) SIP Call Phase I.'' The second revision responds to EPA's regulations entitled, ``Interstate Ozone Transport: Response to Court Decisions on the NOX SIP Call, NOX SIP Call Technical Amendments, and Section 126 Rules,'' otherwise known as the `` NOX SIP Call Phase II.'' The NOX SIP Call Phase II revision satisfies EPA's rule that requires Kentucky to submit Phase II revisions necessary to achieve applicable, incremental reductions of NOX. The intended effect of the Phase II SIP revision is to reduce emissions of NOX originating in the Commonwealth of Kentucky to help attain and maintain the national ambient air quality standard for ozone. The March 24, 2006, final submittal stopped the federal implementation plan clock that started on February 8, 2006, when EPA made a finding that Kentucky failed to submit the required SIP for Phase II of the NOX SIP Call by April 1, 2005.
