su b m i t ta l. On May 21, 2013 ADEQ identified several statute subsections included in the May 25, 2012

submittal for which Arizona no longer requested EPA SIP approval.

Included in the docket for this action (EPA

- R09

- OAR

- 2013

- 0576) is a document that identifies the

r ules that are the subject of EPA’s Federal Register notice, including the rules that are the subject of

this technical support document (TSD). Two other TSDs that can be found in the docket discuss rules

that are also included in the Federal Register noti ce for this action.

Also in the docket for this action is an annotated document that contains the statutes submitted by ADEQ

on May 25, 2012, showing which of the statute and statute subsections are:

(1) the subject of today’s Federal Register notice ( these statute subsections are not annotated);

(2) included in EPA’s April 19, 2013 proposal (78 FR 23527);

(3) the statute subsections withdrawn by ADEQ on May 21, 2013; and

(4) the remaining statutes submitted by ADEQ on May 25, 2012 that EPA has not yet acted upon.
