approval is set forth in the notice 

published today for 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will be withdrawn and all public 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.

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

Delaware; Infrastructure Requirements 

for the 2010 Sulfur Dioxide National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

a State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

submittal from the State of Delaware 

pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA). 

Whenever new or revised national 

ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) 

are promulgated, the CAA requires 

states to submit a plan for the 

implementation, maintenance, and 

enforcement of such NAAQS. The plan 

is required to address basic program 

elements, including, but not limited to, 

regulatory structure, monitoring, 

modeling, legal authority, and adequate 

resources necessary to assure attainment 

and maintenance of the standards. 

These elements are referred to as 

infrastructure requirements. Delaware 

has made a submittal addressing the 

infrastructure requirements for the 2010 

sulfur dioxide (SO2) NAAQS. This 

action proposes to approve portions of 

this submittal. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before November 25, 

2013. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID Number EPA–

D. Hand Delivery: At the previouslylisted EPA Region III address. Such 

deliveries are only accepted during the 

Docket’s normal hours of operation, and 

special arrangements should be made 

for deliveries of boxed information. 

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

Docket ID Number EPA–R03–OAR– 

2013–0492. EPA’s policy is that all 

comments received will be included in 

the public docket without change, and 

may be made available online at 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov 

or email. The www.regulations.gov Web 

site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, 

which means EPA will not know your 

identity or contact information unless 

you provide it in the body of your 

comment. If you send an email 

comment directly to EPA without going 

through www.regulations.gov, your 

email address will be automatically 

captured and included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the public 

docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the 

electronic docket are listed in the 

www.regulations.gov index. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Certain other 

material, such as copyrighted material, 

is not placed on the Internet and will be 

publicly available only in hard copy 

form. Publicly available docket 

materials are available either 

electronically in www.regulations.gov or 

in hard copy during normal business 

hours at the Air Protection Division, 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 

Region III, 1650 Arch Street, 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. 

Copies of the State submittal are 

available at the Delaware Department of 

Natural Resources and Environmental 

Control, 89 Kings Highway, P.O. Box 

1401, Dover, Delaware 19903.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

29, 2013, the State of Delaware through 

the Delaware Department of Natural 

Resources and Environmental Control 

(DNREC) submitted a revision to its SIP 

to satisfy the requirements of section 

110(a)(2) of the CAA for the 2010 SO2

NAAQS. 

I. Background 

On June 22, 2010 (75 FR 35520), EPA 

promulgated a revised NAAQS for the 1- 

hour primary SO2 at a level of 75 parts 

per billion (ppb), based on a 3-year 

average of the annual 99th percentile of 

1-hour daily maximum concentrations. 

Pursuant to section 110(a)(1) of the 

CAA, states are required to submit SIPs 

meeting the applicable requirements of 

section 110(a)(2) within three years after 

promulgation of a new or revised 

NAAQS or within such shorter period 

as EPA may prescribe. Section 110(a)(2) 

requires states to address basic SIP 

elements such as requirements for 

monitoring, basic program requirements 

and legal authority that are designed to 

assure attainment and maintenance of 

the NAAQS. Section 110(a) imposes the 

obligation upon states to make a SIP 

submittal to EPA for a new or revised 

NAAQS, but the contents of that 

submittal may vary depending upon the 

facts and circumstances. In particular, 

the data and analytical tools available at 

the time the state develops and submits 

the SIP for a new or revised NAAQS 

affect the content of the submittal. The 

content of such SIP submittal may also 

vary depending upon what provisions 

the state’s existing SIP already contains. 

In the case of the 2010 SO2 NAAQS, 

states typically have met the basic 

program elements required in section 

110(a)(2) through earlier SIP submittals 

in connection with the SO2 NAAQS. 

More specifically, section 110(a)(1) 

provides the procedural and timing 

requirements for SIPs. Section 110(a)(2) 

lists specific elements that states must 

meet for ‘‘infrastructure’’ SIP 

requirements related to a newly 

established or revised NAAQS. As 

mentioned above, these requirements 

include basic SIP elements such as 

requirements for monitoring, basic 

program requirements and legal 

authority that are designed to assure 

attainment and maintenance of the 

NAAQS. 

II. Summary of State Submittal 

On May 29, 2013, Delaware provided 

a submittal to satisfy section 110(a)(2) 

requirements of the CAA, that is the 

subject of this proposed rulemaking, for
