ANNOUNCEMENT 4
Subject: MI/AIR - PR. EPA. Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Michigan; Redesignation of
the Detroit-Ann Arbor Area to Attainment for Ozone

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designation
of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Michigan; Redesignation of
the Detroit-Ann Arbor Area to Attainment for Ozone
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to make a determination under the Clean Air
Act (CAA) that the Detroit-Ann Arbor nonattainment area has attained
the 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The
Detroit-Ann Arbor area includes Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe,
Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne Counties. This determination
is based on quality-assured ambient air quality monitoring data for the
2006-2008 ozone seasons that demonstrate that the 8-hour ozone NAAQS
has been attained in the area.
EPA is proposing to approve a request from the State of Michigan to
redesignate the Detroit-Ann Arbor area to attainment of the 8-hour
ozone NAAQS. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ)
submitted this request on March 6, 2009. In proposing to approve this
request EPA is also proposing to approve, as a revision to the Michigan
State Implementation Plan (SIP), the State's plan for maintaining the
8-hour ozone NAAQS through 2020 in the area. EPA is proposing to
approve the 2005 base year emissions inventory for the Detroit-Ann
Arbor area as meeting the requirements of section 182(a)(1) of the CAA.
EPA also finds adequate and is proposing to approve the State's 2020
Motor Vehicle Emission Budgets (MVEBs) for the Detroit-Ann Arbor area.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 26, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-
OAR-2009-0219, by one of the following methods:
