Revisions to Federal Implementation Plans to Reduce 

Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone, 

76 FR 63860 (October 14, 2011), EPA sought additional 

comment on unit-level operational information similar to 

the information supporting the proposed revisions, which

specifically addressed post-combustion pollution control 

equipment and immediate-term operational requirements 

necessitating non-economic generation based on verifiable 

data. Based on comments received, EPA is finalizing

adjustments that result in revisions to 2012 and 2014 state

budgets in Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana,

Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma,

South Carolina, and Texas, and revisions to new unit setasides in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Missouri.

2013 as a “2012” state budget and refers to a state budget for 2014 and 

thereafter as a “2014” state budget. Therefore, any revision of a 2012 

state budget would apply to the state budget for 2012 and 2013, and any 

revision of a 2014 state budget would apply to the state budget for 

2014 and thereafter.

I. Detailed Discussion of Corresponding Rule Revisions

EPA has determined that the following additional 

corrections are needed to the August 8, 2011 final 

Transport Rule, as a result of comments received on the 

proposed rule, Revisions to Federal Implementation Plans to 

Reduce Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter and 

Ozone (76 FR 63860, October 14, 2011)(Revisions Rule). In 

that proposed rule, EPA took comment on several similar 

corrections and demonstrated a consistent methodology for 

calculating those corrections. EPA received no comments 

opposing the proposal to make these corrections to state 

budgets and new unit set-asides, and EPA received very few 

comments addressing the manner in which the corrections 

were quantified, to which EPA responded in the final 

revisions rule. EPA has calculated the corrections in this 

rulemaking in a fully consistent manner with the approach

developed through public comment on the proposed and 

finalized revisions rule.

(1) Revise the Arkansas ozone season NOX budgets for 

2012 and 2014 and correct the ozone season new 

unit set-aside budget for an omitted planned 

facility. 

EPA is increasing the Arkansas 2012 and 2014 ozoneseason NOX budget based upon comments received that 

demonstrate that the McClellan plant is in an out-of-meritorder dispatch area with conditions likely to necessitate 

what would otherwise be non-economic generation.2

EPA re-calculated the emissions from the McClellan 

plant with non-economic generation to account for the input 

assumption changes. These calculations yield increases to 

the Arkansas 2012 and 2014 state budgets for ozone-season 

NOX of 73 tons. See “Final Revisions Rule State Budgets and 

New Unit Set-Asides TSD” in the docket for this rulemaking 

for a quantitative demonstration of these revisions.

 

2 In the proposed revisions rule, EPA characterized an out-of-meritorder dispatch area as one in which “units... are frequently dispatched 

out of regional economic order as a result of short-run limitations on 

the ability to meet local electricity demand with generation from 

outside the area.” (76 FR 63865)

Comments on the revisions rule identified Turk Unit 1 

as commencing commercial operation on or after January 1, 

2010, qualifying it as a new unit under the final Transport 

Rule’s unit-level allocation methodology (76 FR 48290); 

however, the final Transport Rule erroneously omitted this 

unit’s projected emissions from the calculation of 

Arkansas’ ozone-season NOX new unit set-aside. EPA is 

therefore revising the portion of the Arkansas ozone-season 

budget dedicated to the state’s new unit set-aside account 

so that it takes into account this unit’s projected 

emissions, consistent with the new unit set-aside 

methodology in the final Transport Rule. EPA is only 

applying this revision for 2014 and beyond, because the 

Agency has already recorded (i.e., distributed) allowances 

under the Arkansas state budget for the 2012 and 2013 

control periods. Turk Unit 1 remains eligible to request 

allowance allocation from the new unit set-asides for any 

control period under the program. This revision yields an 

ozone-season NOX new unit set-aside of 8 percent for 2014 

and beyond for Arkansas. See “Final Revisions Rule State 

Budgets and New Unit Set-Asides TSD” in the docket for this

rulemaking for a quantitative demonstration of these

revisions. This revision to the Arkansas new unit setaside necessitates changes to allowance allocations to 

existing units in 2014 and beyond. See the “Final 

Revisions Rule Unit-Level Allocations under the FIPs” 

tables in the docket to this rulemaking.

(2) Revise the Georgia SO2, annual NOX, and ozone 

season NOX budgets for 2014.

In the final Transport Rule, EPA explained its intent 

to capture “reductions that occur due to state rules, 

consent decrees, and other planned changes in generation 

patterns that occur after 2012, but during or prior to 

2014” in the 2014 state budgets (76 FR 48261). Commenters 

on the revisions rule noted that EPA inadvertently included 

pollution control installation requirements from a Georgia 

state rule whose deadlines at certain units actually extend 

beyond 2014. To correct the alignment of the Georgia 2014 

state budgets with the requirements for affected units in

Georgia to install controls by the state rule’s deadlines, 

EPA is increasing Georgia’s 2014 state budgets by 40,334 

tons of SO2, 13,198 tons of annual NOX, and 5,762 tons of

and New Unit Set-Asides TSD” in the docket for this 

rulemaking for a quantitative demonstration of these

revisions.

(3) Revise the Indiana SO2 budgets for 2012 and 2014.

EPA is revising the Indiana 2012 and 2014 annual SO2

budgets based on comments received on the proposed 

revisions rule (76 FR 63860, October 14, 2011) regarding 

post-combustion control status at Gallagher Units 2 and 4. 

Commenters identified an erroneous assumption of flue gas 

desulphurization (FGD, or scrubber) with 86 percent removal 

at units that have actually installed dry sorbent injection 

(DSI) technology with a 70 percent removal rate. EPA has 

recalculated the projected emissions at these units, and 

that recalculation supports a 2,460 ton increase in the 

state’s annual SO2 budget. 

Commenters on the revisions rule also identified a 

facility in Indiana, Gibson Unit 5, which currently faces

immediate-term limitations regarding the amount of flue gas 

that can be treated in its existing FGD. In the final 

Transport Rule analysis, EPA relied on the SO2 removal

efficiency that this facility reported at its scrubber to 

the Energy Information Administration (EIA). However, EPA 

has since determined that this reported value only intended 

to address the removal efficiency for the portion of the 

flue gas treated in the scrubber. EPA has recalculated the 

projected emissions for this unit using the most recent 

data reported by this facility to EIA on form 860 for 2009, 

which includes the scrubber’s removal efficiency and the 

portion of flue gas treated. This recalculation supports 

an increase to Indiana’s 2012 and 2014 budget of 1,873 

tons. See “Final Revisions Rule State Budgets and New Unit 

Set-Asides TSD” in the docket for this rulemaking for a 

quantitative demonstration of these revisions. 

(4) Revise the Kansas SO2 and annual NOX budgets for 

2012 and 2014.

Commenters on the revisions rule provided information 

showing that one unit at the Quindaro plant in Kansas is in 

an out-of-merit-order dispatch area with conditions likely 

to necessitate what would otherwise be non-economic 

generation. EPA re-calculated the emissions from this 

plant with non-economic generation to account for the input

assumption changes. These calculations yield increases to 

the Kansas 2012 and 2014 state budgets for annual SO2 of 268 

tons and annual NOX of 379 tons. See “Final Revisions Rule

State Budgets and New Unit Set-Asides TSD” in the docket 

for this rulemaking for a quantitative demonstration of 

these revisions.

In the final Transport Rule, EPA explained its intent 

to capture “reductions that occur due to state rules, 

consent decrees, and other planned changes in generation 

patterns that occur after 2012, but during or prior to 

2014” in the 2014 state budgets (76 FR 48261). Commenters 

on the revisions rule noted that EPA inadvertently included 

an emission rate requirement from a consent decree 

affecting a Kansas facility whose deadline actually extends 

beyond 2014. To correct the alignment of the Kansas 2014 

state budget with the requirements for affected units in 

Kansas to meet the emission rate limitation by the consent 

decree’s deadlines, EPA is increasing the Kansas 2014 

annual NOX budget by 5,154 tons. See “Final Revisions Rule

for this rulemaking for a quantitative demonstration of 

these revisions.

(5) Revise the Louisiana ozone season NOX budgets for 

2012 and 2014 and adjust the ozone season new 

unit set-aside.

EPA is increasing the Louisiana 2012 and 2014 ozoneseason NOX budgets based on comments received on the 

revisions rule demonstrating that the Stall and Lieberman 

plants are in an out-of-merit-order dispatch area with 

conditions likely to necessitate what would otherwise be 

non-economic generation. EPA re-calculated the emissions 

from the Stall and Lieberman plants with non-economic 

generation to account for the input assumption changes. 

These calculations yield increases to Louisiana’s 2012 and 

2014 state budgets for ozone-season NOX of 110 tons. See 

“Final Revisions Rule State Budgets and New Unit Set-Asides 

TSD” in the docket for this rulemaking for a quantitative 

demonstration of these revisions.

Comments on the revisions rule also noted that in 

calculating the Louisiana ozone-season NOX new unit setaside, EPA included projected emissions from a planned new

facility, Washington Parish, which will not in fact come 

into service in Louisiana. EPA is therefore reducing the 

size of Louisiana’s ozone-season NOX new unit set-aside in 

2012 and 2014 to 2 percent (from the previous 3 percent) to 

account for the exclusion of these projected emissions from 

the relevant calculation. This revision means that fewer 

allowances will need to be held in reserve for the new unit 

set-aside; after this revision’s effective date, EPA will 

reallocate any allowances in excess of the revised new unit 

set-aside to existing units in the state by the same 

existing unit allowance allocation methodology as 

previously finalized. See “Final Revisions Rule Unit-Level 

Allocations under the FIPs” in the docket to this 

rulemaking.

(6) Revise the Mississippi ozone season NOX budgets 

for 2012 and 2014.

to necessitate what would otherwise be non-economic 

generation.

EPA re-calculated the emissions from the Moselle plant 

with non-economic generation to account for the input 

assumption changes. These calculations yield increases to 

Mississippi’s 2012 and 2014 state budgets for ozone-season 

NOX of 115 tons. See “Final Revisions Rule State Budgets

revisions.

(7) Revise the Missouri annual and ozone season NOX 

budgets for 2012 and 2014 and correct the SO2, 

annual NOX, and ozone season NOX new unit setaside budgets for an omitted operating new 

facility.

EPA is increasing the Missouri 2012 and 2014 annual 

and ozone-season NOX budgets to account for operational 

constraints at six plants based upon comments received on 

the revisions rule. The commenters provided information 

showing that these units were in out-of-merit-order

dispatch areas with conditions likely to necessitate what 

would otherwise be non-economic generation.

EPA re-calculated the emissions from these six plants 

with non-economic generation to account for the input 

assumption changes. These calculations yield increases to 

Missouri’s 2012 and 2014 state budgets for annual NOX of 26

tons and ozone-season NOX of 26 tons. See “Final Revisions 

Rule State Budgets and New Unit Set-Asides TSD” in the 

docket for this rulemaking for a quantitative demonstration 

of these revisions.

Comments on the revisions rule identified Iatan Unit 2 

as commencing commercial operation on or after January 1, 

2010, qualifying it as a new unit under the final Transport 

Rule’s unit-level allocation methodology (76 FR 48290); 

however, the final Transport Rule erroneously omitted this 

unit’s projected emissions from the calculation of 

Missouri’s new unit set-asides. EPA is therefore revising 

the portion of Missouri’s SO2, annual NOX, and ozone-season 

NOX budgets dedicated to the state’s new unit set-asides so 

that they take into account this unit’s projected 

emissions, consistent with the new unit set-aside

methodology in the final Transport Rule. EPA is only 

applying this revision for 2013 and beyond, because the 

Agency has already recorded (i.e., distributed) allowances 

under the Missouri state budget for the 2012 control 

period. Iatan Unit 2 remains eligible to request allowance 

allocation from the new unit set-asides for any control 

period under the program. This revision yields an ozoneseason NOX new unit set-aside of 6 percent, an annual NOX

new unit set-aside of 6 percent, and an SO2 new unit setaside of 3 percent for 2013 and beyond for Missouri. See 

“Final Revisions Rule State Budgets and New Unit Set-Asides 

TSD” in the docket for this rulemaking for a quantitative 

demonstration of these revisions. This revision to 

Missouri’s new unit set-aside necessitates changes to 

allowance allocations to existing units in 2013 and beyond.

operational constraints at two plants, Conesville and 

Muskingum River, based on comments received on the 

revisions rule. The commenter provided information showing 

that these plants were in out-of-merit-order dispatch areas 

with conditions likely to necessitate what would otherwise 

be non-economic generation.

EPA re-calculated the emissions from these two plants 

with non-economic generation to reflect the input 

assumption changes. These calculations yield increases to 

Ohio’s 2012 and 2014 state budgets for annual SO2 of 15,963 

tons, annual NOX of 1,644 tons, and ozone-season NOX of 843 

tons. 

EPA is finalizing additional adjustments to Ohio’s 

2012 and 2014 annual and ozone-season NOX budgets to correct 

an erroneous assumption of an SCR at Bayshore 4. There is 

no SCR planned or under construction at this facility.

(9) Revise the Nebraska SO2 budgets for 2012 and 2014.

EPA is finalizing revisions to the Nebraska 2012 and 

2014 SO2 budgets, based on comments on the revisions rule, 

to correct assumptions regarding FGD pollution control 

technology at Whelan Energy Center Units 1 and 2 and 

Nebraska City Unit 2. The commenter noted that the 

technology at Nebraska Unit 2 and Whelan Unit 2 is dry FGD 

technology, whereas EPA had assumed wet FGD technology with 

a higher SO2 removal efficiency than the actual dry FGD 

technology that those units achieve. Additionally, EPA is 

also revising its assumption of FGD technology at Whelan 

Energy Center Unit 1. There is no FGD present, planned, or 

under construction at the unit. These adjustments result 

in an increase of 3,800 tons to the 2012 and 2014 annual SO2

budgets for the state. See “Final Revisions Rule State 

Budgets and New Unit Set-Asides TSD” in the docket for this

EPA is increasing New York’s 2012 and 2014 annual SO2,

annual NOX, and ozone-season NOX budgets based on comments 

received on the revisions rule demonstrating that the East 

River plant is in an out-of-merit-order dispatch area with 

conditions likely to necessitate what would otherwise be 

non-economic generation. EPA re-calculated the emissions 

from this facility with out-of-merit-order dispatch to 

reflect the input assumption changes. These calculations 

yield increases to New York’s 2012 and 2014 state budgets 

for annual SO2 of 88 tons, annual NOX of 727 tons, and 

ozone-season NOX of 350 tons. 

EPA is also finalizing an adjustment of 5,360 tons to 

New York’s 2012 and 2014 SO2 budgets based on comments 

received on the revisions rule. Commenters identified two 

facilities, Dunkirk and Huntley, with existing dry sorbent 

injection (DSI) technology for which EPA had assumed an SO2

removal rate of 70 percent but which actually achieves a 

removal rate of only 53 percent. EPA recalculated the 

projected emissions for these units based on this revised 

assumption and is increasing the New York 2012 and 2014 SO2

budgets accordingly. See “Final Revisions Rule State

II. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review 

and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 

1993), this action is a "significant regulatory action.” 

Accordingly, EPA submitted this action to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for review under Executive 

Orders 12866 and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011) and 

any changes made in response to OMB recommendations have 

been documented in the docket for this action.

26 of 49

This action does not impose any new information 

collection burden. This action makes relatively minor 

revisions to the emission budgets and allowance allocations 

or allowance allocations only in certain states in the 

final Transport Rule and corrects minor technical errors 

which are ministerial. However, the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) has previously approved the information 

collection requirements contained in the final Transport 

Rule under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 

44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. and has assigned OMB control number 

2060-0667. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in 

40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally 

requires an agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility 

analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment 

rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure 

Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that 

the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. Small entities

include small businesses, small organizations, and small 

governmental jurisdictions.

For purposes of assessing the impacts of this rule on 

small entities, small entity is defined as: (1) a small 

business as defined by the Small Business Administration’s 

(SBA) regulations at 13 CFR 121.201; (2) a small 

governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city, 

county, town, school district or special district with a 

population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small 

organization that is any not-for-profit enterprise which is 

independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its 

field. 

After considering the economic impacts of today’s 

action on small entities, I certify that this action will 

not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. The small entities directly 

regulated by this action are electric power generators 

whose ultimate parent entity has a total electric output of 

4 million megawatt-hours (MWh) or less in the previous 

fiscal year. We have determined that the changes 

considered in this proposed rulemaking pose no additional

burden for small entities. The proposed revision to the 

new unit set-asides in Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas would 

yield an extremely small change in unit-level allowance 

allocations to existing units, including small entities, 

such that it would not affect the analysis conducted on 

small entity impacts under the finalized Transport Rule. 

In all other states, the revisions proposed in this 

rulemaking would yield additional allowance allocations to 

all units, including small entities, without increasing 

program stringency, such that it is not possible for the 

impact to small entities to be any larger than that already 

considered and reviewed in the finalized Transport Rule. 

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

This rule does not contain a Federal mandate that may 

result in expenditures of $100 million or more for State, 

local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or the 

private sector in any one year. This action is increasing 

the budgets and increasing the total number of allowances 

or maintaining the same budget but revising unit-level

allocations in several other states in the Transport Rule.

Thus, this rule is not subject to the requirements of 

sections 202 or 205 of UMRA.

In developing the final Transport Rule, EPA consulted 

with small governments pursuant to a plan established under 

section 203 of UMRA to address impacts of regulatory 

requirements in the rule that might significantly or 

uniquely affect small governments.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

This action does not have federalism implications. It 

will 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. This action makes 

relatively minor revisions to the emissions budgets and 

allowance allocations or allowance allocations only in 

certain states in the final Transport Rule. Thus, Executive 

Order 13132 does not apply to this rule. EPA did provide 

information to state and local officials during development 

of both the proposed and final Transport Rule.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments

This action does not have tribal implications, as 

specified in Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 

9, 2000). This action makes relatively minor revisions to 

the emissions budgets and allowance allocations in several 

states in the final Transport Rule and helps ease the 

transition from CAIR. Indian country new unit set-asides 

will increase slightly or remain unchanged in the states 

affected by this action. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does 

not apply to this action. EPA consulted with tribal 

officials during the process of promulgating the final 

Transport Rule to permit them to have meaningful and timely 

input into its development.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children from 

Environmental Health and Safety Risks

This action is not subject to EO 13045 (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997) because it is not economically significant 

as defined in EO 12866, and because the Agency does not 

believe the environmental health or safety risks addressed 

by this action present a disproportionate risk to children.

Analyses by EPA that show how the emission reductions from 

the strategies in the final Transport Rule will further 

improve air quality and children’s health can be found in 

the final Transport Rule RIA.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning 

Regulations that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use

This action is not a “significant energy action” as 

defined in Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355 (May 22, 

2001)), because it is not likely to have a significant 

adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of 

energy. EPA believes that there is no meaningful impact to 

the energy supply beyond that which is reported for the 

Transport Rule program in the final Transport Rule.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act of 1995 (“NTTAA”), Public Law No. 104-113, 

12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs EPA to use voluntary 

consensus standards in its regulatory activities unless to 

do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or 

otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are

32 of 49

technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test 

methods, sampling procedures, and business practices) that 

are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards 

bodies. NTTAA directs EPA to provide Congress, through 

OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use 

available and applicable voluntary consensus standards. 

As described in section XII.I of the preamble to the 

final Transport Rule, the Transport Rule program requires

all sources to meet the applicable monitoring requirements 

of 40 CFR part 75. Part 75 already incorporates a number of 

voluntary consensus standards. This action does not involve 

technical standards. Therefore, EPA did not consider the 

use of any voluntary consensus standards. 

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address 

Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and LowIncome Populations

Executive Order (EO) 12898 (59 FR 7629 (Feb. 16, 

1994)) establishes federal executive policy on 

environmental justice. Its main provision directs federal 

agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and permitted 

by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission

by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, 

disproportionately high and adverse human health or 

environmental effects of their programs, policies, and 

activities on minority populations and low-income 

populations in the United States. 

EPA has determined that this action will not have 

disproportionately high and adverse human health or 

environmental effects on minority or low-income populations 

because it does not affect the level of protection provided 

to human health or the environment. EPA believes that the 

vast majority of communities and individuals in areas

covered by the Transport Rule program inclusive of this 

action, including numerous low-income, minority, and tribal 

individuals and communities in both rural areas and inner 

cities in the eastern and central U.S., will see

significant improvements in air quality and resulting 

improvements in health. EPA’s assessment of the effects of 

the final Transport Rule program on these communities is

detailed in section XII.J of the preamble to the final 

Transport Rule.

The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as 

added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness 

Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take 

effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule 

report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of 

the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United 

States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and 

other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. 

House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of 

the United States prior to publication of the rule in the 

Federal Register. A Major rule cannot take effect until 60 

days after it is published in the Federal Register. This 

action is a “major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

This rule will be effective [INSERT DATE 60 DAYS AFTER 

PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER].

L. Judicial Review

Petitions for judicial review of this action must be 

filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the 

District of Columbia Circuit by [INSERT DATE 60 DAYS AFTER 

DATE OF PUBLICATION]. Section 307(b)(1) of the CAA 

indicates which Federal Courts of Appeal have venue for

petitions of review of final actions by EPA. This section 

provides, in part, that petitions for review must be filed 

in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia 

Circuit if (i) the agency action consists of “nationally 

applicable regulations promulgated, or final action taken, 

by the Administrator,” or (ii) such action is locally or 

regionally applicable, if “such action is based on a 

determination of nationwide scope or effect and if in 

taking such action the Administrator finds and publishes 

that such action is based on such a determination.”

Any final action related to the Transport Rule is 

“nationally applicable” within the meaning of section 

307(b)(1). Through this rule, EPA interprets section 110 

of the CAA, a provision which has nationwide applicability. 

In addition, the Transport Rule applies to 27 States. The 

Transport Rule is also based on a common core of factual 

findings and analyses concerning the transport of 

pollutants between the different states subject to it. For 

these reasons, the Administrator also is determining that 

any final action regarding the Transport Rule is of 

nationwide scope and effect for purposes of section

307(b)(1). Thus, pursuant to section 307(b) any petitions 

for review of final actions regarding the Transport Rule 

must be filed in the Court of Appeals for the 

District of Columbia Circuit within 60 days from the date 

final action is published in the Federal Register.

Filing a petition for reconsideration of this action 

does not affect the finality of this rule for the purposes 

of judicial review nor does it extend the time within which 

a petition for judicial review may be filed and shall not 

postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action. In 

addition, pursuant to CAA section 307(b)(2) this action may 

not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its 

requirements.

Revisions to Federal Implementation Plans to Reduce 

Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone: 

Part II

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule.

portions of the Transport Rule (Federal Implementation 

Plans: Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter and 

Ozone and Correction of SIP Approvals, 76 FR 48208 (August

8, 2011). The final Transport Rule limits the interstate 

transport of emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and sulfur 

dioxide (SO2) that contribute harmful levels of fine 

particle matter and ozone in downwind states. After the 

final rule was published, it was brought to our attention 

that there are some incorrect data assumptions that affect 

a few states’ budgets or new unit set-asides in the rule 

text. EPA proposed revisions to the final Transport Rule 

on October 14, 2011 (76 FR 63860) based on this new 

information and sought comment on additional unit-level 

information addressing post-combustion pollution control 

equipment and operational requirements necessitating noneconomic generation of a unit. EPA is finalizing the 

earlier specifically proposed revisions in a separate 

action. EPA has reviewed the information provided in 

comments addressing the topics described above and proposes 

to determine that the unit-level adjustments described in 

the preamble to the direct final are merited.

DATES: Written comments must be received by [INSERT DATE 

30 DAYS FROM PUBLICATION].

Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, 

Texas and Wisconsin, as well as new unit set-asides in 

Arkansas and Texas (see 76 FR 63860, October 14, 2011). We 

are issuing a direct final rule, in parallel with this 

proposal, based on comments received on the Revisions Rule 

proposal, to amend the August 8, 2011 final regulation (76 

FR 48208) by correcting annual NOX budgets in Georgia, 

Kansas, Missouri, New York, Ohio, and Texas; ozone-season 

NOX budgets in Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, 

Missouri, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Texas; SO2 budgets 

in Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, and 

South Carolina; and new unit set-aside budgets in Arkansas, 

Louisiana, and Missouri.

We have explained our reasons for this action in the 

preamble to the direct final rule. If we receive no 

significant adverse comment, we will not take further 

action on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse 

comment, we will withdraw the direct final rule and it will 

not take effect. We would address all public comments in 

any subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.
