Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; New York Ozone State Implementation Plan Revision

The Environmental Protection Agency is approving a revision to the New York State Implementation Plan (SIP) related to the control of oxides of nitrogen (NO<INF>X</INF>) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) from stationary sources. The SIP revision consists of amendments to Title 6 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations, Parts 214, "Byproduct Coke Oven Batteries," and 216, "Iron and/or Steel Processes." The revision was submitted to comply with the 1-hour ozone Clean Air Act reasonably available control technology requirements for major sources of VOC and NO<INF>X</INF> not covered by Control Techniques Guidelines. The intended effect of this action is to approve control strategies which will result in emission reductions that will help achieve attainment of the national ambient air quality standard for ozone.
