Abstract
The EPA is issuing final approval of a petition from the State of Louisiana requesting that the Lake Charles marginal ozone nonattainment area be exempt from applicable nitrogen oxides (NO<INF>X</INF>) control requirements of section 182(f) of the Clean Air Act (Act). The section 182(f) NO<INF>X</INF> requirement from which the area will be exempt is NO<INF>X</INF> new source review (NSR). In addition, approval of the section 182(f) petition would remove the NO<INF>X</INF> general conformity provisions and the NO<INF>X</INF> build/no build provisions of the transportation conformity rule. This document will also correct the drafting error in the proposed rule in which the Lake Charles area was referred to as the Calcasieu Parish nonattainment area. This correction is merely a nominal change, since the Lake Charles nonattainment area contains only Calcasieu Parish.
