Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for the Enhanced Vehicle Emissions Inspection/Maintenance Program

[31 Pa.B. 6002]

   The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is seeking comments on a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the Enhanced Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Program to demonstrate the need for an extension to January 1, 2003, to include onboard diagnostics (OBD) testing in its program.

   States must demonstrate to the United States Environmental Protection Agency that an extension is necessary to allow for successful implementation of OBD testing. This SIP revision describes the legal, technical, regulatory and operational constraints which has led the Commonwealth to seek an extension.

   The Departments of Environmental Protection and Transportation will hold three public hearings as follows:

Tuesday, November 27, 2001
1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Southwest Regional Office

Thursday, November 29, 2001
