**Approval and Disapproval of Air Quality State Implementation Plans;**  **Arizona; Regional Haze and Interstate Transport Requirements** 

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Final rule; correction.

**SUMMARY :**  EPA is correcting the preamble to the final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on July 30, 2013. This final rule partially approved and partially disapproved a portion of Arizona’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) to implement the regional haze program for the first planning period through 2018. The final rule preamble inadvertently misstated the effective date of the rule under the Congressional Review Act and the deadline for filing of petitions for judicial review of the rule under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act. This document corrects those errors and clarifies that the rule was signed by the Acting Regional Administrator for EPA Region 9.

**DATES :**  This rule is effective on August 29, 2013.

Consideration of Section 110(1) of the Clean Air Act VI. Final Action VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews I. Background Information

On May 7, 2013, EPA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register in which we proposed approval of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision that was submitted by the State of Wyoming on December 21, 2012. Our proposed rule provided an opportunity for public comment through June 6, 2013 (see 78 FR 26563). The SIP submission addressed revisions and additions to the State’s general conformity requirements in order to align them with the current federal general conformity regulation requirements and incorporated by reference those sections of the Code of Federal Regulations that are referred to in the State’s general conformity requirements. In response to our May 7, 2013 proposed rule, we received six comment letters in support of our proposed rule and we did not receive any adverse comments.

As background, we note the intent of the general conformity requirement is to prevent the air quality impacts of federal actions from causing or contributing to a violation of a National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) or interfering with the purpose of a SIP. Under the Clean Air Act (CAA) as amended in 1990, Congress recognized that actions taken by federal agencies could affect state and local agencies’ abilities to attain and maintain the NAAQS. Section 176(c) of the CAA, as codified in Title 42 of the United States Code (42 U.S.C. 7506), requires federal agencies to assure that their actions conform to the applicable SIP for attaining and maintaining compliance with the NAAQS. General conformity is defined to apply to NAAQS established pursuant to section 109 of the CAA, including the NAAQS for carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), ozone, particulate matter (PM), and sulfur dioxide (SO 2). Because certain provisions of section 176(c) of the CAA apply only to highway and mass transit funding and approval actions, EPA published two sets of regulations to implement section 176(c) of the CAA— one set for transportation conformity and one set for general conformity. The federal general conformity regulations were published on November 30, 1993 (58 FR 63214) and codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR part 93 Subpart B.

On July 17, 2006, EPA revised the federal general conformity regulations via a final rule (71 FR 40420). EPA had promulgated a new NAAQS on July 18, 1997 (62 FR 38652) that established a separate NAAQS for fine particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5 ). The prior coarse particulate matter NAAQS promulgated in 1997 pertains to particulate matter under 10 micrometers in diameter (PM 10). EPA’s July 17, 2006 revision to the federal general conformity regulations (71 FR 40420) added requirements for PM2.5 for the first time, including annual emission limits of PM2.5 above which covered federal actions in NAAQS nonattainment or maintenance areas would be subject to general conformity applicability.
