ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[FL-90-200322(b); FRL-7640-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Florida: Tampa 
Bay Area Maintenance Plan Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the Florida Department of Environmental 
Protection on December 20, 2002. This SIP revision satisfies the 
requirement of the Clean Air Act (CAA) as amended in 1990 for the 
second 10-year update for the Tampa Bay area (Hillsborough and Pinellas 
Counties) 1-hour ozone maintenance plan. For transportation purposes, 
EPA is also finalizing its adequacy determination of the new Motor 
Vehicle Emissions Budgets (MVEBs) for the year 2015. EPA has determined 
that the MVEBs for the year 2015 contained in this SIP revision are 
adequate for transportation conformity purposes. 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 submittal and anticipates no 
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in 
the direct final rule. If no significant, material, and adverse 
comments are received in response to this rule, no further activity is 
contemplated. 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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 rule. The EPA will not institute 
a second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in 
commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before April 28, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by mail to: Sean Lakeman, 
Regulatory Development Section, Air Planning Branch, Air, Pesticides
