**Subject: Wisconsin**  **SIP Revision-**  **Section 128**  **SIP Submittal** 

**Dear Ms.**  **Hedman:**

**U n der**  **CAA Sections**  **II O(a)(l**  

### ), **II O(a)(2),and**  

### II **O(a)(2)(E) each**  **state is**  **required to**  **submit a SIP**  **that provides**  **for the**  **implementation, maintenance,**  **and enforcement**  **of each primary**  **or secondary**  **national ambient air**  **quality standard (NAAQS).**  **Section 110(a)(2)(E) references Section**  **128 of**  **the CAA**  **which addresses**  **requirements of** 

**state boards,**  **such as**  **the Wisconsin**  **Natural Resources**  **Board (NRB), that**  **must be**  **met to**  **satisfy the**  **infrastructure SIP**  **requirements of**  **1 10(a)(2)(E).**  **A new**  **SIP submission**  **is required within**  **three years**  **after promulgation**  **of a** 

**new or**  **revised NAAQS**  **and is**  **commonly referred**  **to as**  **an "infl·astructu1·e**  **SIP''. Wisconsin**  **submitted infrastructure**  **SIPs on**  **the listed**  **dates for**  **the following**  **NAAQS:**

**• 2008**  **Lead- July**  **26, 2012** 

**• 2010**  **N02- June**  **20, 2013** 

**• 1997**  **Ozone- Dec.**  **l2, 2007,**  **supplemented on**  **Jan. 24,**  **201 1**  **and March**  **28, 201**  **1**

**• 2008**  **Ozone- June**  **20, 2013** 

**• 1997**  **PM25- Dec.**  **12, 2007,**  **supplemented on**  **Jan. 24,2011**  **and March**  **28, 201**  **1**

**• 2006**  **PM2.5-Jan. 24,**  **201 1,**  **supplemented on**  **Ma1·ch 28,2011**  **and June**  **29, 201**  **1**

**• 2010S02-June**  **20, 2013** 

**The purpose**  **of an**  **infrastructlll·e SIP**  **is to**  **assure that**  **Wisconsin's SIP**  **contains the necessary**  **sto·uctural requirements**  **for the**  **new or**  **revised NAAQS,**  **by either**  **establishing that**  **the SIP**  **already contains**  **the necessary**  **provisions or**  **by making**  **a substantive**  **SIP revision**  **to update**  **the SIP,**  **or both.** 

**As part**  **of the federal**  **approval process**  **for the**  **seven infrastructure**  **SIPs listed**  **above, EPA**  **identified that**  **Wisconsin must**  **still address**  **Section 128**  **of the**  **CAA regarding**  **state board**  **requirements applicable**  **to the**  **NRB under**  **CAA section**  **II O(a)(2)(E).**  **There are**  **three requirements**  **for Section**  **128 in**  **the CAA:** 
**I. Any**  **board or**  **body which**  **approves permits**  **or enforcement**  **orders under**  **this chapter**  **shall have**  **at least**  **a majority**  **of members**  **who represent**  **the public**  **interest and**  **2. Do**  **not derive**  **any significant**  **portion of**  **their income**  **from persons**  **subject to permits**  **and enforcement**  **orders under**  **this chapter,**  **and**
**3. Any**  **potential conflicts**  **of interest**  **by members**  **of such**  **board or**  **body or**  **the head**  **of an**  **executive agency**  **with similar**  **powers be**  **adequately disclosed.** 

**DNR believes**  **the following**  **existing state**  **statutes address**  **these Section**  **128 requirements:**

**• Section**  **15.05, Wis.**  **Slats., vests**  **the administrative**  **powers and**  **duties of**  **the DNR**  **in the**  **secretary, including**  **issuance of**  **air permits**  **or enforcement**  **orders. The**  **NRB 's**  **functions are**  **purely regulatory,**

Availability of the Proposed SIP Documents

The Department intends to supply informa tion on one administrative code and two
statutes to address EPA i ssues concerning section 128 of the Clean Air Act. The
administrative code and statut es can be obtained from the Wisconsin State Legislature
web site:

 s.15.05, Wis. Stats.

 http://docs.legis.wisconsi n.gov/statutes/statutes/15.pdf

 s 19.45(2), Wis. Stats. https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes /statutes/19/III/45 /2?view=section

 s. 19.46 , Wis. Stats. https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statut es/statutes/19/III/ 46?view=section

Background

Under CAA Sections 110(a)(1 ) ,110(a)(2),and 110( a)(2)(E) each state is required to submit a SIP that provides for the implementati on, maintenance, and enforcement of each

## primary or secondary national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS). Section 110(a)(2)(E) references Section 128 of the CAA which addresses requirements of state boards, such as the Natural Resources Board (NRB), that must be met to satisfy the infrastructure SIP requirements of 110(a)(2)(E ). A new SIP submission is required within three years after promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS an d is commonly referred to
as an “infrastructure SIP”. Wisconsin submitted infrastructure SIPs on the listed dates for the following NAAQS:

 2008 Lead – July 26, 2012

 2010 NO 2 

## – June 20, 2013

 1997 Ozone – Dec. 12, 2007, supplemented on Jan. 24, 2011 and March 28, 2011

 2008 Ozone – June 20, 2013

 1997 PM 2.5 

## – Dec. 12, 2007, supplemented on Jan. 24, 2011 and March 28, 2011

 2006 PM 2.5 

## – Jan. 24, 2011, supplemented on March 28, 2011 and June 29, 2011
2010 SO 2 

## – June 20, 2013

The purpose of an infrastructure SIP is to assure that Wisconsin’s SIP contains the necessary structural requirements for the new or revised NAAQS, by either establishing that the SIP already contains the necessary provisions or by making a substantive SIP revision to update SIP, or both.

As part of the approval for the seven infras tructure SIPs identified above, EPA identified
that Wisconsin must still address Sec tion 128 of the CAA regarding state board requirements applicable to the Natu ral Resources Board under CAA Section 110(a)(2)(E). There are three require ments for Section 128 in the CAA:
1. Any board or body which approves permits or enforcement orders under this chapter shall have at least a majority of members who represent the public interest
and
2. Do not derive any significant portion of their income from persons subject to permits and enforcement orders under this chapter, and
3. Any potential conflicts of in terest by members of such board or body or the head of an executive agency with simila r powers be adequately disclosed.

DNR believes the following existing stat e statutes addres s these Section 128 requirements:

 Section 15.05, Wis. Stats., vests the administrative pow ers and duties of the DNR in the secretary, including issuance of air permits or enforcement orders. The NRB’s functions are purely regulator y, advisory, and policy-making. The NRB never approves, and cannot approve, enfo rcement orders or permits under the statutes that govern its operations.

 Section 19.45(2), Wis. Stats, prevents fi nancial gain of a public official which
addresses the issue of obta ining a significant portion of income from persons subject to permits and enforcement orde rs. In addition, Sec tion 19.46, Wis. Stats, prevents a public official from taking actio ns where there is a conflict of interest. The Secretary of the DNR is a public offici al subject to these ethical obligations under ch. 19, Wis. Stats.

## DNR is therefore proposing to include Section 15.05, 19.45(2), and 19.46, Wis. Stats into its SIP to meet EPA’s infrastructure SIP requirements.

Action Subject to Comment

The Department is soliciting comment on addr essing the CAA section 128 requirements.
