Abstract
In this action, the Environmental Protection Agency is announcing approval of the State Implementation Plan submitted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the purpose of meeting the requirement to submit the Clean Fuel Fleet Program or a substitute program that meets the requirements of the Clean Air Act. EPA is approving the State's plans for implementing a substitute program to opt out of the Clean Fuel Fleet program. On November 15, 1993, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts formally submitted a revision to their SIP to require the sale of California certified low emitting vehicles in Massachusetts beginning with model year 1995. Further, on May 11, 1994, the Commonwealth formally notified EPA of its decision to substitute Massachusetts' version of the California Low Emission Vehicle (MA LEV) Program for the Clean Fuel Fleet (CFF) Program as provided for in section 182(c)(4)(B) of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
