Region 9] 

Approval of Air Plan Revisions; 

Arizona; Rescissions and Corrections 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Arizona State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) under the 

Clean Air Act. These revisions include 

rescissions of certain statutory 

provisions, administrative and 

prohibitory rules, and test methods. The 

EPA is also proposing to correct certain 

errors in previous actions on prior 

revisions to the Arizona SIP and to 

make certain other corrections. The 

intended effect is to rescind 

unnecessary provisions from the 

applicable SIP and to correct certain 

errors in previous SIP actions. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

March 14, 2016.

official comment and should include 

discussion of all points you wish to 

make. The EPA will generally not 

consider comments or comment 

contents located outside of the primary 

submission (i.e., on the Web, cloud, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this 

Federal Register, the EPA is approving 

the rescissions from the Arizona SIP, 

and correcting the errors from previous 

Arizona SIP rulemakings, in a direct 

final action without prior proposal 

because we believe the SIP revision and 

error corrections are not controversial. 

The rescissions involve statutory and 

regulatory provisions related to 

declarations of policy and legal 

authority, jurisdiction over Indian 

lands, prohibitory rules, and test 

methods and performance test 

specifications. The error corrections 

relate to an inadvertent listing of a rule 

on which the EPA did not take action 

in the Arizona SIP, a typographical 

error, and erroneous approvals of nonSIP submittals as part of the SIP. 

A detailed rationale for the approval 

of the rescissions and the correction of 

the errors is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If we receive adverse comments, 

however, we will publish a timely 

withdrawal of the direct final rule and 

address the comments in a subsequent 

final rule based on this proposed rule. 

Please note that if the 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, the EPA may 

adopt as final those provisions of the 

rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. 

We do not plan to open a second 

comment period, so anyone interested 

in commenting should do so at this 

time. If we do not receive adverse 

comments, no further activity is 

planned. For further information, see 

please see the direct final action.

Region 4] 

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Mississippi; 

Infrastructure Requirements for the 

2010 Sulfur Dioxide National Ambient 

Air Quality Standard 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve, 

in part, and disapprove in part, portions 

of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

submission, submitted by the State of 

Mississippi, through the Mississippi 

Department of Environmental Quality 

(MDEQ), on June 20, 2013, to 

demonstrate that the State meets the 

infrastructure requirements of the Clean 

Air Act (CAA or Act) for the 2010 1- 

hour sulfur dioxide (SO2) national 

ambient air quality standard (NAAQS). 

The CAA requires that each state adopt 

and submit a SIP for the 

implementation, maintenance and 

enforcement of each NAAQS 

promulgated by EPA, which is 

commonly referred to as an 

‘‘infrastructure’’ SIP. MDEQ certified 

that the Mississippi SIP contains 

provisions that ensure the 2010 1-hour 

SO2 NAAQS is implemented, enforced, 

and maintained in Mississippi. With the 

exception of the state board majority 

requirements respecting significant 

portion of income, for which EPA is 

proposing to disapprove, EPA is 

proposing to determine that portions of 

Mississippi’s infrastructure submission, 

submitted to EPA on June 20, 2013, 

satisfy certain required infrastructure 

elements for the 2010 1-hour SO2

NAAQS.
