On May 18, 1998, the EPA published a proposal to approve the identification of additional ozone areas attaining the 1-hour standard and to which the 1-hour standard is no longer applicable. The comment period concluded on June 17, 1998. Comments were received on the proposal during the comment period. Today, the EPA is addressing the comments and taking final action to approve the identification of six additional ozone areas attaining the 1-hour standard and to which the 1-hour standard is no longer applicable. Upon promulgation of this action, the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for ozone will be amended to reflect such changes. Additionally, today's action is consistent with the President's memorandum of July 16, 1997. The President's memorandum called for EPA to publish an action identifying ozone areas to which the 1-hour standard will cease to apply because they have not measured a current violation of the 1-hour standard. For all other areas, the 1-hour standard will continue to apply. Furthermore, this action is being taken as indicated in the direct final rule published on January 16, 1998, which, due to the receipt of adverse comments, was withdrawn on March 16, 1998 and subsequently converted to a proposal. On June 5, 1998, the Agency promulgated a final rule, effective immediately, responding to the adverse comments, thus completing the action identifying ozone areas where the 1-hour standard is no longer applicable. According to the final rule, the Agency intended to publish, in early 1998, a subsequent document which takes similar action to revoke the 1-hour standard in additional areas that have air quality that does not violate the 1-hour standard. The six additional areas identified today are: Dayton-Springfield, Ohio; Detroit-Ann Arbor, Michigan; Warrick County, Indiana; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Poughkeepsie, New York; and Morgan County, Kentucky.

The comment period concluded on June 17, 1998. Comments were received on the proposal during the comment period. Today, the EPA is addressing the comments and taking final action to approve the identification of six additional ozone areas attaining the 1-hour standard and to which the 1-hour standard is no longer applicable. Upon promulgation of this action, the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for ozone will be amended to reflect such changes. Additionally, today's action is consistent with the President's memorandum of July 16, 1997. The President's memorandum called for EPA to publish an action identifying ozone areas to which the 1-hour standard will cease to apply because they have not measured a current violation of the 1-hour standard. For all other areas, the 1-hour standard will continue to apply.
