Air Plan Approval; Oregon; Interstate 

Transport Requirements for the 2012 

PM2.5 NAAQS 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Clean Air Act (CAA) 

requires each State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) to contain adequate provisions 

prohibiting emissions that will have 

certain adverse air quality effects in 

other states. On October 20, 2015, the 

State of Oregon made a submission to 

the Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) to address these requirements. 

The EPA is proposing to approve the 

submission as meeting the requirement 

that each SIP contain adequate 

provisions to prohibit emissions that 

will contribute significantly to 

nonattainment or interfere with 

maintenance of the 2012 annual fine 

particulate matter (PM2.5) national 

ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) 

in any other state. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 20, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

the EPA. This supplementary 

information section is arranged as 

follows: 

Table of Contents 

I. What is the background of this SIP 

submission? 

II. What guidance or information is the EPA 

using to evaluate this SIP submission? 

III. The EPA’s Review 

IV. What action is the EPA taking? 

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. What is the background of this SIP 

submission? 

This rulemaking addresses a 

submission from the Oregon Department 

of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) 

assessing interstate transport 

requirements for the 2012 annual PM2.5

NAAQS. The requirement for states to 

make a SIP submission of this type 

arises from section 110(a)(1) of the CAA. 

Pursuant to section 110(a)(1), states 

must submit within 3 years (or such 

shorter period as the Administrator may 

prescribe) after the promulgation of a 

national primary ambient air quality 

standard (or any revision thereof), a 

plan that provides for the 

implementation, maintenance, and 

enforcement of such NAAQS. The 

statute directly imposes on states the 

duty to make these SIP submissions, 

and the requirement to make the 

submissions is not conditioned upon 

the EPA taking any action other than 

promulgating a new or revised NAAQS. 

Section 110(a)(2) includes a list of 

specific elements that ‘‘[e]ach such 

plan’’ submission must address. The 

EPA commonly refers to such state 

plans as ‘‘infrastructure SIPs.’’ 

Specifically, this rulemaking addresses 

the requirements under CAA section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I), otherwise known as 

the ‘‘good neighbor’’ provision, which 

requires SIPs to contain adequate 

provisions to prohibit emissions that 

will contribute significantly to 

nonattainment or interfere with 

maintenance of the NAAQS in any other 

state. 

II. What guidance or information is the 

EPA using to evaluate this SIP 

submission? 

The most recent relevant document 

was a memorandum published on 

March 17, 2016, titled ‘‘Information on 

the Interstate Transport ‘‘Good 

Neighbor’’ Provision for the 2012 Fine 

Particulate Matter National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards under Clean Air Act 

Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)’’ 

(memorandum). The memorandum 

describes the EPA’s past approach to 

addressing interstate transport, and 

provides the EPA’s general review of 

relevant modeling data and air quality 

projections as they relate to the 2012 

annual PM2.5 NAAQS. The 

memorandum provides information 

relevant to the EPA regional office 

review of the CAA section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) ‘‘good neighbor’’ 

provision in infrastructure SIPs with 

respect to the 2012 annual PM2.5

NAAQS. This rulemaking considers 

information provided in that 

memorandum. 

The memorandum also provides 

states and the EPA regional offices with 

future year annual PM2.5 design values 

for monitors in the United States based 

on quality assured and certified ambient 

monitoring data and air quality 

modeling. The memorandum describes 

how these projected potential design 

values can be used to help determine 

which monitors should be further 

evaluated to potentially address 

whether emissions from other states 

significantly contribute to 

nonattainment or interfere with 

maintenance of the 2012 annual PM2.5

NAAQS at those sites. The 

memorandum explains that the 

pertinent year for evaluating air quality 

for purposes of addressing interstate 

transport for the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS is 

2021, the attainment deadline for 2012 

PM2.5 NAAQS nonattainment areas 

classified as Moderate. 

Based on this approach, the potential 

receptors are outlined in the 

memorandum. Most of the potential 

receptors are in California, located in 

the San Joaquin Valley or South Coast 

nonattainment areas. However, there is 

also one potential receptor in Shoshone 

County, Idaho, and one potential 

receptor in Allegheny County, 

Pennsylvania. The memorandum also 

indicates that for certain states with 

incomplete ambient monitoring data, 

additional information including the 

latest available data should be analyzed 

to determine whether there are potential 

downwind air quality problems that 

may be impacted by transported 

emissions. 

This rulemaking considers analysis in 

Oregon’s submission, as well as 

additional analysis conducted by the 

EPA during review of its submission. 

For more information on how we 

conducted our analysis, please see the 

technical support document (TSD) 

included in the docket for this action. 

III. The EPA’s Review 

This rulemaking proposes action on 

Oregon’s October 20, 2015, SIP 

submission addressing the good 

neighbor provision requirements of 

CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). State 

plans must address specific 

requirements of the good neighbor 

provisions (commonly referred to as 

‘‘prongs’’), including: 

—Prohibiting any source or other type 

of emissions activity in one state from 

contributing significantly to 

nonattainment of the NAAQS in 

another state (prong one); and 

—Prohibiting any source or other type 

of emissions activity in one state from 

interfering with maintenance of the 

NAAQS in another state (prong two). 

The EPA has developed a consistent 

framework for addressing the prong one 

and two interstate transport 

requirements with respect to the PM2.5

NAAQS in several previous federal 

rulemakings. The four basic steps of that 

framework include: (1) Identifying 

downwind receptors that are expected 

to have problems attaining or 

maintaining the relevant NAAQS; (2) 

identifying which upwind states 

contribute to these identified problems 

in amounts sufficient to warrant further 

review and analysis; (3) for states 

identified as contributing to downwind 

air quality problems, identifying 

upwind emissions reductions necessary 

to prevent an upwind state from 

significantly contributing to 

nonattainment or interfering with

1Oregon was not part of the CSAPR rulemaking. 

The EPA approved the Oregon SIP as meeting the 

CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) requirements for the 

1997 ozone and 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS on June 9, 2011 

(76 FR 33650) and the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS on 

January 16, 2015 (80 FR 2313). 

maintenance of the relevant NAAQS 

downwind; and (4) for states that are 

found to have emissions that 

significantly contribute to 

nonattainment or interfere with 

maintenance of the relevant NAAQS 

downwind, reducing the identified 

upwind emissions through adoption of 

permanent and enforceable measures. 

This framework was applied with 

respect to PM2.5 in the Cross-State Air 

Pollution Rule (CSAPR), designed to 

address both the 1997 and 2006 PM2.5

standards, as well as the 1997 ozone 

standard.1

In its submission, ODEQ reviewed air 

quality monitoring data for several 

surrounding western states to identify 

potential downwind receptors that may 

have problems attaining or maintaining 

the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS. ODEQ then 

reviewed geographical distance, 

topography, meteorology (local 

stagnation events), air monitoring 

trends, industrial source emissions near 

the state border, and Western Regional 

Air Partnership (WRAP) modeling to 

determine if emissions from Oregon 

may impact these specific areas. From 

this analysis and consultation with 

neighboring state air agencies, ODEQ 

concluded that Oregon does not 

significantly contribute to 

nonattainment or interfere with 

maintenance of the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS 

in any other state. 

As discussed in the TSD for this 

action, we came to the same conclusion 

as the state. In our evaluation, potential 

downwind nonattainment and 

maintenance receptors were identified 

in other states. The EPA evaluated these 

potential receptors to determine first if, 

based on review of relevant data and 

other information, there would be 

downwind nonattainment or 

maintenance problems, and if so, 

whether Oregon contributes to such 

problems in these areas. After reviewing 

air quality reports, modeling results, 

designation letters, designation 

technical support documents, 

attainment plans and other information 

for these areas, we find there is no 

contribution sufficient to warrant 

additional SIP measures. Therefore, we 

are proposing to approve the Oregon SIP 

as meeting CAA section 110(a)(2)(i)(I) 

interstate transport requirements for the 

2012 PM2.5 NAAQS. 

IV. What action is the EPA taking? 

The EPA is proposing to approve 

ODEQ’s October 20, 2015, submission 

certifying that the Oregon SIP is 

sufficient to meet the interstate 

transport requirements of CAA section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I), specifically prongs one 

and two, as set forth above. The EPA is 

requesting comments on the proposed 

approval. 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

CAA and applicable federal regulations. 

42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 

Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the 

EPA’s role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. Accordingly, this action 

merely approves state law as meeting 

federal requirements and does not 

impose additional requirements beyond 

those imposed by state law. For that 

reason, this action: 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget under 

Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011); 

• Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 

FR 9339, February 2, 2017) regulatory 

action because SIP approvals are 

exempted under Executive Order 12866; 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• Is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA; and 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where EPA or an 

Indian tribe has demonstrated that a 

tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of 

Indian country, the rule does not have 

tribal implications and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
