Date: 2009-11-03
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
EPA is deleting certain statutes and rules that were erroneously approved by EPA under the Clean Air Act as part of the Arizona and Nevada state implementation plans. The statutes that are the subject of this rule are from the Arizona state implementation plan.

EPA has determined that the continued presence of these statutory provisions and rules in the applicable state implementation plans is potentially confusing and thus harmful to affected sources, the state, local agencies, the general public and to EPA. The intended effect of this action is to delete these statutes and rules from the Arizona and Nevada state implementation plans. EPA is also correcting certain clerical and typographical errors in the codification of the Pima County portion of the Arizona plan.
