    This hearing provides interested parties an opportunity to comment on the District of Columbia’s (District) proposed revision to its State Implementation Plan (SIP), found at 40 CFR Part 52 Subpart J, regarding certain Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements under sections 110(a)(2)(A)-(M).  Once the District has completed its procedures, the proposed revision to the SIP will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval.

    Copies of the proposed SIP revision are available for public review during normal business hours at the offices of the District Department of the Environment (DDOE), 1200 First Street NE, 5th Floor, Washington, DC 20002, and on-line at http://ddoe.dc.gov/.
