Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Ohio: 

Cleveland and Delta; Determination of 

Attainment for the 2008 Lead Standard 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: On February 20, 2015, the 

Ohio Environmental Protection Agency 

(Ohio EPA) submitted a request to the 

Environmental Protections Agency 

(EPA) to make a determination under 

the Clean Air Act that the Cleveland and 

Delta nonattainment areas have attained 

the 2008 lead (Pb) national ambient air 

quality standards (NAAQS). In this 

action, EPA is proposing to determine 

that the Cleveland and Delta 

nonattainment areas (areas) have 

attained the 2008 Pb NAAQS. These 

determinations of attainment are based 

upon complete, quality-assured and 

certified ambient air monitoring data for 

the 2012–2014 design period showing 

that the areas have monitored 

attainment of the 2008 Pb NAAQS. 

Additionally, as a result of this 

proposed determination, EPA is 

proposing to suspend the requirements 

for the areas to submit attainment 

demonstrations, together with 

reasonably available control measures, a 

reasonable further progress (RFP) plans, 

and contingency measures for failure to 

meet RFP and attainment deadlines for 

as long as the areas continue to attain 

the 2008 Pb NAAQS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is making an attainment

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. For additional

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Virginia; 

Revisions to the Attainment Plans for 

the Commonwealth of Virginia Portion 

of the Washington, DC–MD–VA 1990 1- 

Hour and 1997 8-Hour Ozone 

Nonattainment Areas and the 

Maintenance Plan for the 

Fredericksburg 1997 8-Hour Ozone 

Maintenance Area To Remove the 

Stage II Vapor Recovery Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) proposes to approve 

revisions to the Commonwealth of 

Virginia (Virginia) State Implementation 

Plan (SIP). These revisions remove the 

Stage II vapor recovery program (Stage 

II) from the attainment plans for the 

Virginia portion of the Washington, DC– 

MD–VA 1990 1-Hour and 1997 8-Hour 

National Ambient Air Quality Standard 

(NAAQS) Nonattainment Areas 

(Northern Virginia Areas), as well as 

from the maintenance plan for the 

Fredericksburg 1997 8-Hour Ozone 

NAAQS Maintenance Area 

(Fredericksburg Area). These revisions 

also include an analysis that addresses 

the impact of removal of Stage II from 

the attainment and maintenance plans. 

The analysis submitted by the 

Commonwealth satisfies the 

requirements of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA). In the Final Rules section of this 

Federal Register, EPA is approving the 

Commonwealth’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 and the 

Technical Support Document (TSD) 

prepared in support of this rulemaking 

action. A copy of the TSD is available, 

upon request, from the EPA Regional 

Office listed in the ADDRESSES section of 

this document. 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.

Instructions: Direct your comments to

0422. 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
