Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 45 / Monday, March 9, 2015 / Proposed Rules 12373 

the EPA must uphold both its legal 

obligations under governing statutes and 

its mission to protect human health and 

the environment; and that the EPA’s 

retrospective review will be tailored to 

reflect its resources, rulemaking 

schedule, and workload. 

Additionally, the EPA published a 

notice on January 26, 2015 seeking 

comment on the development of an 

online portal to serve as a consolidated 

entry point for providing information, 

tools and streamlined interactions with 

the EPA by the public and regulated 

entities (80 FR 3962). Commenters may 

wish to review this notice and consider 

how such a portal could be used while 

considering regulations that the EPA 

should include in its review. 

The EPA is accepting comments until 

April 8, 2015. Although the agency will 

not respond to individual comments, 

the EPA values and will give careful 

consideration to all input that it 

receives. Please see http://www.epa.gov/ 

regdarrt/retrospective/history.html for 

additional information and updates.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 52 

[EPA–R03–OAR–2014–0903; FRL–9924–03– 

Region 3] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; West 

Virginia; State Boards Requirements; 

Infrastructure Requirements for the 

2008 Ozone, 2010 Nitrogen Dioxide, 

and 2010 Sulfur Dioxide National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) proposes to approve the 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision submitted by the State of West 

Virginia for the purpose of addressing 

the State Boards requirements for all 

criteria pollutants of the National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS). EPA is also proposing to 

approve a related infrastructure element 

from the West Virginia February 21, 

2012 SIP submittal for the 2008 ozone 

(O3) NAAQS, the December 13, 2012 SIP 

submittal for the 2010 nitrogen dioxide 

(NO2) NAAQS, and the July 1, 2013 SIP 

submittal for the 2010 sulfur dioxide 

(SO2) NAAQS. In the Final Rules 

section of this Federal Register, EPA is 

approving the State’s SIP submittal as a 

direct final rule without prior proposal 

because the Agency views this as a 

noncontroversial submittal and 

anticipates no adverse comments. A 

detailed rationale for the approval is set 

forth in the direct final rule. If no 

adverse comments are received in 

response to this action, no further 

activity is contemplated. If EPA receives 

adverse comments, the direct final rule 

will be withdrawn and all public 

comments received will be addressed in 

a subsequent final rule based on this 

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a 

second comment period. Any parties 

interested in commenting on this action 

should do so at this time. 

DATES: Comments must be received in 

writing by April 8, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID Number EPA– 

R03–OAR–2014–0903 by one of the

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

Docket ID No. EPA–R03–OAR–2014– 

0903. EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change, and may be 

made available online at 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov 

or email. The www.regulations.gov Web 

site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, 

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. 

Docket: All documents in the 

electronic docket are listed in the 

www.regulations.gov index. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Certain other 

material, such as copyrighted material, 

is not placed on the Internet and will be 

publicly available only in hard copy 

form. Publicly available docket 

materials are available either 

electronically in www.regulations.gov or 

in hard copy during normal business 

hours at the Air Protection Division, 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 

Region III, 1650 Arch Street, 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. 

Copies of the State submittal are 

available at the West Virginia 

Department of Environmental 

Protection, Division of Air Quality, 601 

57th Street SE., Charleston, WV 25304.

action, with the same title, that is 

located in the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ 

section of this Federal Register 

publication. Please note that if EPA 

receives adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

EPA may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment.
