Technical Amendments to Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans (SIP) for Louisiana: Motor Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program; Correction of Effective Date Under Congressional Review Act (CRA)

On November 19, 1997 (62 FR 61633), the Environmental Protection Agency published in the Federal Register a final disapproval of the SIP revision submitted by the State of Louisiana for establishing and operating a motor vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Program, which established an effective date of December 19, 1997. This document corrects the effective date of the rule to February 13, 1998 to be consistent with sections 801 and 808 of the Congressional Review Act (CRA), enacted as part of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 and 808. Since certain statutory sanctions may be applied if the deficiency identified in the final disapproval is not corrected, this document also clarifies the timing of such sanctions.
