Ms. Gwendolyn Keyes Fleming Regional Administrator

EPA Region 4

Atlanta Federal Center

61 Forsyth Street, S.W. Atlanta, GA 30303-8960

Dear Ms. Fleming:

This letter is to certify that Alabama's State Implementation Plan (SIP) meets all Section II O(a)( I)

and 1 1 O(a)(2) provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA) that address the requirements for the 2008
Ozone NAAQS. The attached table specifies how Alabama's SIP addresses these elements.

This infrastructure SIP was made available for public comment from May 21, 2012, through July 6,
2012. We received no request for a hearing. The only comments received were from EPA, and
these comments involved CAA Section 11 O(a)(2)(D) and (E)(ii). Our reconciliation of comments
is enclosed.

With regard to Section IIO(a)(2)(E)(ii), please note that our response to EPA's comments describes

a conflict of interest disclosure protocol that has been implemented to address EPA's concerns. We formally request EPA to include this protocol in our SIP.

If you need additional information concerning this submittal, please call Ron Gore of my staff at (334) 271-7868.

Lance R. LeFleur

### Part C

### Reconciliation Statements

# Reconciliation of Comments Received on Alabama 110(a)(2)(A)-(M) requirements for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS

The USEPA was the only commenter. A summary oftheir comments follows.



### EPA Comment from cover letter:

On December 23, 2008, the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) was remanded by the U.S

.
Court of Appeals for the D

. C. Circuit, without vacatur, back to the EPA. In response to

the remand of the CAIR, the EPA promulgated a new rule to address interstate transport

of air pollution, the "Cross-state Pollution Rule" (CSAPR), which became effective on
August 8

, 2011. However, on December

, 30, 2011, the CSAPR was stayed by the U

. S

.
Court of Appeals for the D

. C. Circuit and the CAIR was put back in place. At this time

,
the EPA maintains that neither the CAIR nor the CSAPR are appropriate to comply with

11 O(a)(2)(D)(i)-(ii) for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS.



### ADEM Response: As there is nothing the State can do at this time

, we will await

th e decision of the Court and resolution by EPA

.



### EPA Comment on 11 0(a)(2)(E)(ii): This section of the Alabama code requires that

"Members of the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) shall meet all

requirements of the state ethics law and the conflict of interest provisions of applicable

federal laws and regulations. " This appears to satisfy the applicable provisions of Clean

Air Act§ 128 (a)(1), and§ 128(a)(2) as it applies to members of the EMC. For the EPA

to approve this sub-element, this provision must be incorporated into the federally

approved state implementation plan. Please confirm whether this provision is SIP

approved

. b1 addition, it is unclear from the information provided as to whether the state

relies upon a head of an executive agency for any of the permitting or enforcement

obligations described in § 128

. The State should explain whether any such responsibility**rest~** 

### with the head of an executive agency (or has been delegated from such an official).

If it does

, the State needs to describe how it meets the disclosure requirements of

128(a)(2) respecting those officials

. If the executive agency head (or delegate) does not

have any of these responsibilities, an affirmative statement to this effect would be

sufficient.

### ADEM Response: The Alabama Environmental Management Act and the

Alabama Air Pollution Control Act authorize the director of ADEM to approve air

permits and enforcement orders

. As such, the director of ADEM is the " head of an

executive agency " empowered to " approve permits or enforcement orders " as described

in§§ 128(a)(J) and (2) of the Clean Air Act. Relevant excerpts from ADEM ' s enabling

legislation and the Alabama Air Pollution Control Act are attached. [Attachment A}

The Alabama Environmental Management Act

, at §22-22A-4(b)

, Ala

. Code (19 7 5),

further provides that the director may delegate the performance of such powers to

employees of the department and, at §22-22A-4(c), authorizes the deputy director to have

charge in the director ' s absence

. In addition to the director and the deputy director

, the

chief of the Air Division is delegated authority to issue permi(s in the Air Program

.

In order to satisfy the disclosure requirements of §128(a)(2) of the CAA, the individuals

in these three positions have recently completed the attached disclosure form

[Attachment B} and will complete the form on an annual basis. Copies of the completed

forms will be available upon request at ADEM's offices for review by EPA or the public.

In response to EPA ' s comment regarding § 128(a)(2) ofthe CAA, ADEM requests that the

disclosure protocol described above be incorporated into the State Implementation Plan.
