Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving three state implementation plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Delaware through the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) on March 13, 2023. The revisions amend Delaware's emission inspection and maintenance (I/M) program statewide, for the purpose of updating the SIP to include several state rule revisions as amendments to the prior approved SIP. The purpose of these updates is to incorporate regulatory changes that are the result of state law changes, as well as to improve the I/M program and to harmonize the programs operated throughout the state. EPA finds that these revisions to the SIP comply with applicable requirements of the CAA and EPA regulations and that these revisions to the SIP will not interfere with attainment or maintenance of any national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). EPA is approving these revisions to the Delaware SIP in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
