ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[LA-19-1-6934b; FRL-5310-3]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of 
Louisiana; Clean Fuel Fleet Program

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 Louisiana for the purpose of 
establishing a Clean Fuel Fleet Program. The SIP revision was submitted 
by the State to satisfy the Federal mandate, found in the Clean Air Act 
(CAA), to implement a program whereby at least a certain percentage of 
all newly acquired vehicles of certain on-road fleets in the Baton 
Rouge ozone nonattainment area, beginning with model year 1998, shall 
be clean fuel vehicles (CFV). In the final rules section of this 
Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a 
direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this 
as a noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no adverse 
comments. The rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct 
final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this 
proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this 
rule. If the EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will 
be withdrawn, and all public comments received during the 30-day 
comment period set forth below will be addressed in a subsequent final 
rule based on this proposed rule. Any parties interested in commenting 
on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
November 22, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be submitted to Mr. Thomas Diggs, 
Chief, Air Planning Section (6PD-L), at the EPA Regional Office listed 
below. Copies of the documents relevant to this proposed rule are 
available for public inspection during normal business hours at the 
following locations. Interested persons wanting to examine these 
documents should make an appointment with the appropriate office at 
least 24 hours before the visiting day.
