Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; New Jersey Reasonable Further Progress Plans, Transportation Conformity Budgets and 1-Hour Ozone Attainment Demonstrations State Implementation Plans

EPA is approving several New Jersey State Implementation Plans (SIP) revisions addressing several Clean Air Act requirements. Specifically, EPA is approving 1-hour Ozone Attainment Demonstrations, Reasonable Further Progress Plans for milestone years 2002, 2005 and 2007, conformity budgets for 2002, 2005 and 2007, contingency measures, a 1996 periodic emission inventory, ozone projection year emission inventories for 2002, 2005 and 2007, enforceable commitments for the 1- hour ozone attainment demonstration, and reasonably available control measure analysis for the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island nonattainment area (NAA) and the Philadelphia, Wilmington, Trenton NAA. The intended effect of this action is to approve programs required by the Clean Air Act which will result in emission reductions that will achieve attainment of the 1-hour national ambient air quality standard for ozone in the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island NAA and the Philadelphia, Wilmington, Trenton NAA.
