| 97-33222 | Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans (SIP) for Texas: Accelerated Vehicle Retirement (AVR) Program | Proposed Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to disapprove the SIP revision submitted by the State of Texas for the Accelerated Vehicle Retirement (AVR) program which allows stationary sources to purchase Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) through a vehicle scrappage program. For areas which face relatively high stationary source control costs, Mobile Emission Reduction Credits (MERCs) offer stationary sources another option to achieve required emission reductions through early retirement and scrappage of motor vehicles which fail mandated emissions testing. The EPA is proposing disapproval because the State's AVR SIP revision uses a vehicle emission testing method from a vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) program that has changed since the ARV SIP was submitted. This action is being taken under sections 110 and 182 of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (the Act). | 1997-12-19 | 1997 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/12/19/97-33222/approval-and-promulgation-of-state-implementation-plans-sip-for-texas-accelerated-vehicle-retirement | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-12-19/pdf/97-33222.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to disapprove the SIP revision submitted by the State of Texas for the Accelerated Vehicle Retirement (AVR) program which allows stationary sources to purchase Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs)... |
