Description
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to conditionally approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of New Hampshire through the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES). The revision seeks to remove the statewide motor vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) program as an active measure from the SIP, which was previously approved to address emissions from on-road sources. The SIP submittal includes a demonstration that this removal will not interfere with New Hampshire's compliance with any National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) or applicable Clean Air Act requirements. NHDES has committed to submitting an additional SIP revision within one year of final conditional approval to address maintenance plan requirements.
