Abstract
On April 2, 1996 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a proposal to approve the redesignation to attainment and associated section 175A maintenance plan for the ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for the two-county Grand Rapids, Michigan area as a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision. The 30-day comment period concluded on May 2, 1996. A total of 1 comment letter was received in response to the April 2, 1996 proposal. On May 1, 1996, the EPA published a 14-day partial extension of the comment period on the redesignation request and section 175A maintenance plan, limited to the State's April 11, 1996 revision to the section 175A maintenance plan which was not available in EPA's docket prior to April 15, 1996. The reopened comment period concluded on May 16, 1996. One additional comment letter was received in response to the May 1, 1996, extension of public comment period. This final rule summarizes all comments and EPA's responses, and finalizes the approval of the redesignation to attainment for ozone and associated section 175A maintenance plan for the Grand Rapids area.
