## Abstract

EPA is approving several State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Maine Department of Environmental Protection. These SIP revisions consist of a demonstration that Maine meets the requirements of reasonably available control technology (RACT) for oxides of nitrogen (NO<INF>X</INF>) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) set forth by the Clean Air Act (CAA) with respect to the 1997 8-hour ozone standard as well as several new and revised VOC regulations. The intended effect of this action is to approve Maine's RACT demonstration for satisfying the State's RACT SIP revision obligation as of September 15, 2006, and to approve Maine's other submitted SIP regulations. This action is being taken in accordance with the CAA.
