ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[Region II Docket No. 138, NY20-1-6729b; FRL-5124-6]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of New

York; Clean Fuel Fleet Opt Out

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan

(SIP) revision submitted by the State of New York related to the

requirement that the State submit either the Clean Fuel Fleet program

(CFFP) or a substitute program that meets the requirements of the Clean

Air Act. The State has submitted such a substitute measure for a

portion of the required program. In the final rules section of this

Federal Register, EPA is partially approving and partially disapproving

the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal

because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision and

anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the action is

set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received

in response to that direct final rule no further activity is

contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse

comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public

comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on

this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period

on this proposed rule. Any parties interested in commenting on this

action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 6, 1995.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to:

William S. Baker, Chief, Air Programs Branch, Air and Waste Management

Division, Environmental Protection Agency, Region II Office, 26 Federal

Plaza, New York, New York 10278.
