Abstract
EPA is taking direct final action to approve revisions to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan (SIP). The revision consists of amendments to Pennsylvania's Nitrogen Oxides (NO<INF>X</INF>) Allowance Requirements. The revisions implement the Ozone Transport Commission's (OTC) September 27, 1994 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In accordance with the MOU, the revisions implement the Pennsylvania portion of a regional NO<INF>X</INF> cap and trade program that significantly reduces NO<INF>X</INF> emissions generated within the Ozone Transport Region (OTR). EPA is approving these revisions in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act.
