Wisconsin; Disapproval of 

Infrastructure SIP With Respect to 

Oxides of Nitrogen as a Precursor to 

Ozone Provisions for the 2006 PM2.5

NAAQS 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to 

disapprove an element of State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) submissions 

from Wisconsin regarding the 

infrastructure requirements of section 

110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the 

2006 fine particulate matter (PM2.5) 

National Ambient Air Quality Standard 

(NAAQS). The infrastructure 

requirements are designed to ensure that 

the structural components of each 

state’s air quality management program 

are adequate to meet the state’s 

responsibilities under the CAA. This 

action pertains specifically to an 

infrastructure requirement for states to 

correctly address oxides of nitrogen 

(NOX) as a precursor to ozone in their 

respective prevention of significant 

deterioration (PSD) programs.

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

8. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. What is the background of this SIP 

submission? 

This rulemaking addresses a January 

24, 2011, submission supplemented on 

June 29, 2012, from the Wisconsin 

Department of Natural Resources 

(WDNR) intended to address all 

applicable infrastructure requirements 

for the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS. 

The requirement for states to make a 

SIP submission of this type arises out of 

CAA section 110(a)(1). Pursuant to 

section 110(a)(1), states must make SIP 

submissions ‘‘within 3 years (or such 

shorter period as the Administrator may 

prescribe) after the promulgation of a 

national primary ambient air quality 

standard (or any revision thereof),’’ and 

these SIP submissions are to provide for 

the ‘‘implementation, maintenance, and 

enforcement’’ of such NAAQS. The 

statute directly imposes on states the 

duty to make these SIP submissions, 

and the requirement to make the 

submissions is not conditioned upon 

EPA’s taking any action other than 

promulgating a new or revised NAAQS. 

Section 110(a)(2) includes a list of 

specific elements that ‘‘[e]ach such 

plan’’ submission must address. 

This specific rulemaking is only 

taking action on a specific requirement 

of PSD, NOX as a precursor to ozone, 

which is a component under the 

infrastructure elements described in 

CAA sections 110(a)(2)(C), (D)(i)(II), and 

(J). The majority of the other 

infrastructure elements were approved 

in an October 29, 2012 (77 FR 65478) 

rulemaking. 

III. What is EPA’s review of this SIP 

submission? 

On September 13, 2013, EPA issued 

‘‘Guidance on Infrastructure State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) Elements 

under Clean Air Act Sections 110(a)(1) 

and 110(a)(2)’’ (2013 Memo). As noted 

in the 2013 Memo, pursuant to CAA 

section 110(a), states must provide 

reasonable notice and opportunity for 

public hearing for all infrastructure SIP 

submissions. WDNR provided public 

comment opportunities on both its 

January 24, 2011 and October 29, 2012 

submittals. EPA is also soliciting 

comments on the specific requirement 

we are evaluating in this proposed 

rulemaking. WDNR provided a detailed 

synopsis of how various components of 

its SIP meet each of the applicable 

requirements in section 110(a)(2) for the 

2006 PM2.5 NAAQS, as applicable. The 

following review only evaluates the 

state’s submissions for PSD provisions 

that explicitly identify NOX as a 

precursor to ozone in the PSD program. 

EPA’s ‘‘Final Rule to Implement the 8- 

Hour Ozone National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard—Phase 2; Final Rule 

to Implement Certain Aspects of the 

1990 Amendments Relating to New 

Source Review and Prevention of 

Significant Deterioration as They Apply 

in Carbon Monoxide, Particulate Matter, 

and Ozone NAAQS; Final Rule for 

Reformulated Gasoline’’ (Phase 2 Rule) 

was published on November 29, 2005 


rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
54470 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 175 / Thursday, September 10, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

1Case 3:12–cv–06472–CRB, filed on January 21, 

2015. 

(see 70 FR 71612). Among other 

requirements, the Phase 2 Rule 

obligated states to revise their PSD 

programs to explicitly identify NOx as 

a precursor to ozone (70 FR 71612 at 

71679, 71699–71700). This requirement 

was codified in 40 CFR 51.166. 

The Phase 2 Rule required that states 

submit SIP revisions incorporating the 

requirements of the rule, including 

those identifying NOX as a precursor to 

ozone, by June 15, 2007 (see 70 FR 

71612 at 71683, November 29, 2005). 

During the comment period following 

the proposed approval for the 

infrastructure requirements of the 1997 

ozone and PM2.5 NAAQS (76 FR 23757), 

two commenters observed that although 

EPA proposed to approve Wisconsin’s 

infrastructure SIP as meeting the correct 

requirements for NOx as a precursor to 

ozone in the State’s PSD program, 

Wisconsin’s PSD SIP does not contain 

the most recent PSD program revisions 

required by EPA for this purpose. A 

subsequent review of Wisconsin’s PSD 

SIP indicated that the commenters were 

correct in their assertion. Specifically, 

Wisconsin had not made necessary 

revisions to its PSD program with 

respect to the identification of NOX as 

a precursor to ozone, consistent with the 

explicit requirements of the Phase 2 

Rule. This led EPA to disapprove 

Wisconsin’s infrastructure SIP in June 

2012 for this narrow portion of section 

110(a)(2)(C) with respect to the 1997 

ozone and PM2.5 (77 FR 35870). 

This final disapproval triggered the 

requirement under section 110(c) that 

EPA promulgate a Federal 

Implementation Plan (FIP) no later than 

two years from the effective date of the 

disapproval unless the State corrects the 

deficiency, and the Administrator 

approves the plan revision before the 

Administrator promulgates such FIP. 

Wisconsin has taken multiple steps to 

address NOX as a precursor to ozone in 

its PSD rules, starting in June 2012 with 

a note in rule. The state followed up 

with rule changes, effective August 

2014, and SIP approved on October 6, 

2014. (79 FR 60064) Prior to the 

effective date of the August 2014 rules, 

four additional areas requiring updated 

language were identified by EPA. 

Wisconsin was too far in the rule 

process to add additional changes at 

that point. Wisconsin immediately 

started a new rule package to address 

these additional areas, but these changes 

will not be effective until approximately 

August 2016 due to the length of the 

administrative rule process in 

Wisconsin. 

In our initial rulemaking on 

Wisconsin’s 2006 PM2.5 infrastructure 

SIP, we did not take action on this 

provision because of our previous 

disapproval. However, a proposed 

consent decree 1 between the Sierra 

Club and EPA requires EPA to take 

action on this portion of Wisconsin’s 

submittal by November 30, 2015. 

Today’s disapproval does not trigger a 

new FIP clock because the missing 

provisions are the same as those 

disapproved in the 1997 ozone and 

PM2.5 action. The evaluation of a state’s 

PSD program is a requirement under the 

elements described in section 110 

(a)(2)(C) and (J), and the most common 

way to comply with section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II). Therefore, EPA is 

proposing to narrowly disapprove the 

PSD provision of NOX as a precursor to 

ozone in the PSD portion of these three 

elements. 

IV. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is proposing to narrowly 

disapprove portions of a submission 

from Wisconsin certifying that its 

current SIP is sufficient to meet required 

infrastructure elements. Specifically, 

EPA is proposing to disapprove the NOX

as a precursor to ozone provisions for 

the PSD portions of infrastructure 

elements under CAA sections 

110(a)(2)(C), (D)(i)(II), and (J) for the 

2006 PM2.5 NAAQS. 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Executive Order 12866: Regulatory 

Planning and Review 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

and, therefore, is not subject to review 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rulemaking does not impose an 

information collection burden under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

This action merely proposes to 

disapprove state law as not meeting 

Federal requirements and imposes no 

additional requirements beyond those 

imposed by state law. Accordingly, the 

Administrator certifies that this 

proposed rule would not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.). 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

Because this rulemaking proposes to 

disapprove pre-existing requirements 

under state law and does not impose 

any additional enforceable duty beyond 

that required by state law, it does not 

contain any unfunded mandate or 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments, as described in the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 

(Pub. L. 104–4). 

Executive Order 13132: Federalism 

This action also does not have 

Federalism implications because it does 

not have substantial direct effects on the 

states, on the relationship between the 

national government and the states, or 

on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999). This action merely 

proposes to disapprove a state rule, and 

does not alter the relationship or the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities established in the CAA. 

Executive Order 13175: Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

In addition, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where EPA or an 

Indian tribe has demonstrated that a 

tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of 

Indian country, the proposed rule does 

not have tribal implications and would 

not impose substantial direct costs on 

tribal governments or preempt tribal law 

as specified by Executive Order 13175 

(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 

Executive Order 13045: Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health 

and Safety Risks 

This proposed rule also is not subject 

to Executive Order 13045 ‘‘Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997), because it proposes to 

disapprove a state rule. 

Executive Order 13211: Actions That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

Because it is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866 or a ‘‘significant energy 

action,’’ this action is also not subject to 

Executive Order 13211, ‘‘Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001).

National Technology Transfer 

Advancement Act 

In reviewing state submissions, EPA’s 

role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. In this context, in the absence 

of a prior existing requirement for the 

state to use voluntary consensus 

standards (VCS), EPA has no authority 

to disapprove a state submission for 

failure to use VCS. It would thus be 

inconsistent with applicable law for 

EPA, when it reviews a state 

submission, to use VCS in place of a 

state submission that otherwise satisfies 

the provisions of the CAA. Thus, the 

requirements of section 12(d) of the 

National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 

272 note) do not apply.

Implementation Plan Requirements 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

elements of State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) submissions from Connecticut 

regarding the infrastructure 

requirements of Clean Air Act (CAA or 

Act) for the 2008 lead (Pb), 2008 8-hr 

ozone, 2010 nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and 

2010 sulfur dioxide (SO2) National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS). EPA is also proposing to 

convert conditional approvals for 

several infrastructure requirements for 

the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS and for 

the 1997 and 2006 fine particle (PM2.5) 

NAAQS to full approval under the CAA. 

Furthermore, we are proposing to newly 

conditionally approve elements of 

Connecticut’s infrastructure 

requirements of the Clean Air Act 

regarding prevention of significant 

deterioration requirements to treat 

nitrogen oxides as a precursor to ozone 

and to establish a minor source baseline 

date for PM2.5 emissions. Lastly, EPA is 

proposing to approve three statutes 

submitted by Connecticut in support of 

their demonstration that the 

infrastructure requirements of the CAA 

have been met. 

The infrastructure requirements are 

designed to ensure that the structural 

components of each state’s air quality 

management program are adequate to 

meet the state’s responsibilities under 

the CAA.

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.
