In the proposed rule section of today's Federal Register, USEPA is proposing to approve revisions to Ohio's particulate matter plans for Cuyahoga County and the Steubenville area that the State submitted on November 3, 1995. The notice of proposed rulemaking further proposes to conclude that the deficiencies in these plans identified in rulemaking published on May 27, 1994, at 59 FR 27464, have now been remedied. Based on that proposed full approval, EPA is making an interim final determination by this action that the State has corrected the deficiency for which a sanctions clock began on June 27, 1994. Pursuant to 40 CFR 52.31, this action will defer the application of the offset sanction and potentially defer the application of the highway sanction. Although this action is effective upon publication, EPA will take comment. USEPA will take final action on this determination at the time it takes final action on the State's submittal.
