ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[WI116-01-7346b; FRL-7515-6]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Wisconsin;
Revised Motor Vehicle Emissions Inventories and Motor Vehicle Emissions
Budgets Using MOBILE6
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing approval of a revision to the Wisconsin State
Implementation Plan (SIP) for the attainment and maintenance of the
one-hour national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for ozone.
Specifically, EPA is approving Wisconsin's revised 2007 motor vehicle
emission inventories and 2007 Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets (MVEB)
recalculated using MOBILE6 for the Milwaukee severe ozone area and the
Sheboygan ozone maintenance area. EPA is also proposing approval of a
new
[[Page 36960]]
2012 projected MVEB for the Sheboygan ozone maintenance area.
In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register,
EPA is approving the State's request as a direct final rule without
prior proposal, because EPA views this action as noncontroversial and
anticipates no adverse comments. The rationale for approval is set
forth in the direct final rule. If EPA receives no written adverse
comments, EPA will take no further action on this proposed rule. If EPA
receives written adverse comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal
of the direct final rule in the Federal Register and inform the public
that the rule will not take effect. In that event, EPA will address all
relevant public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this
proposed rule. In either event, EPA will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so
at this time.
DATES: Comments on this action must be received by July 21, 2003.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: Carlton Nash, Chief,
Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), USEPA,
Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
A copy of the plan revision request is available for inspection at
