Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Louisiana; 
2006 Low Enhanced Vehicle Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision to the Low Enhanced Vehicle Inspection/Maintenance 
Program for the State of Louisiana. This revision addresses the 
exemption of the two newest model year gasoline-fueled passenger cars 
and gasoline-fueled trucks from On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) testing. We 
are taking this action in accordance to Section 110 of the Clean Air Act.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before December 13, 2006.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Mr. Thomas Diggs, Chief, Air 
Planning Section (6PD-L), Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross 
Avenue, Suite 1200, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733. Comments may also be 
submitted electronically or through hand delivery/courier by following 
the detailed instructions in the ADDRESSES section of the direct final 
rule located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mrs. Sandra Rennie, Air Planning 
Section (6PD-L), Multimedia Planning and Permitting Division, U.S. EPA, 
Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202, (214) 665-7367, e-mail 
address rennie.sandra@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal 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 adverse comments are received in response to this action, 
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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments 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 
proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this 
time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, 
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed 
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions 
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
    For additional information, see the direct final rule, which is 
located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: October 23, 2006.
Richard E. Greene,
Regional Administrator, Region 6.
