Abstract
On October 1, 1996, EPA published approval of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by New York (61 FR 51214), which addressed the need for transportation control measures (TCMs) to offset growth in emissions from growth in vehicle miles traveled as required by the Clean Air Act. This action was published without prior proposal because EPA anticipated no adverse comments. Because EPA received adverse comments on this action, EPA is withdrawing the approval of New York's request to revise its SIP for ozone, announced in the October 1, 1996 direct final rule. EPA will now proceed with rulemaking based on a proposed rule pertaining to the same TCMs, which was published on the same date (61 FR 51257).
