Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Approval of the Carbon Monoxide Implementation Plan Submitted by the State of Connecticut Pursuant to Sections 186-187 and 211(m)

On September 15, 1995, EPA proposed to approve the State implementation plans (SIP) submitted by the State of Connecticut for the purpose of bringing about the attainment of the national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for carbon monoxide (CO). The implementation plans were submitted by the State to satisfy the requirements of Sections 187(a)(2)(A), 187(a)(3), 187(a)(7) and 211(m) of the Clean Air Act for an approvable nonattainment area CO SIP for Connecticut's portion of the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut CO nonattainment area. Public comments were solicited on Connecticut's SIP submittals, which included the CO attainment demonstration, contingency measures, vehicle miles travelled (VMT) forecasts and the oxygenated fuels program for Connecticut's portion of the New York-New Jersey- Connecticut CO nonattainment area, and on EPA's proposed action. No public comments were received. In this action, EPA is finalizing the approvals of these SIP revisions. This document also updates 40 CFR 52.372, 52.373, and 52.374.
