-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) submission provided by the State of 
Mississippi, through the Mississippi Department of Environmental 
Quality (MDEQ), via a letter dated February 28, 2024. Specifically, EPA 
is finalizing approval of updates to the incorporation by reference of 
Federal prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) rules in the 
Mississippi SIP. EPA is also converting the previous conditional 
approval of Mississippi's infrastructure SIP PSD and air quality 
modeling provisions for the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality 
Standards (NAAQS) to a full approval. EPA is also approving changes to 
public notice provisions for PSD permitting to provide for electronic 
notice (e-notice) and to remove the mandatory requirement to provide 
public notice in a newspaper, and other minor changes to the PSD rules. 
EPA is finalizing approval of these changes pursuant to the Clean Air 
Act (CAA or Act).

DATES: This rule is effective December 2, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    EPA is approving changes to Mississippi's SIP submitted by the 
State on February 28, 2024. The changes include revising the State's 
new source review (NSR) permitting regulations at 11 Mississippi 
Administrative Code (MAC), Part 2, Chapter 2, Permit Regulations for 
the Construction and/or Operation of Air Emissions Equipment (Chapter 
2) and PSD permitting regulations at 11 MAC, Part 2, Chapter 5, 
Regulations for the Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air 
Quality (Chapter 5) to adopt relevant federal permitting regulations 
into the SIP. The PSD permitting changes at Chapter 5 amend MDEQ's 
incorporate by reference (IBR) date of the federal PSD regulations at 
40 CFR 51.166(f) and 40 CFR 52.21 to December 27, 2023. EPA's approval 
of the December 27, 2023, IBR date at Chapter 5, Rule 5.2 adopts into 
the SIP changes to 40 CFR 52.21 that EPA promulgated in several 
rulemakings since Mississippi's last IBR update of February 17, 2016. 
These rulemakings include: ``Source Determination for Certain Emission 
Units in the Oil and Natural Gas Sector'' 81 FR 35622 (June 3, 2016); 
``Rescission of Preconstruction Permits Issued under the Clean Air 
Act'' 81 FR 78043 (November 7, 2016); ``Revisions to the Guideline on 
Air Quality Models: Enhancements to the AERMOD Dispersion Modeling 
System and Incorporation of Approaches to Address Ozone and Fine 
Particulate Matter'' 82 FR 5182 (January 17, 2017) \1\ at; ``Prevention 
of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review 
(NNSR): Project Emissions Accounting'' 85 FR 74890 (November 24, 2020); 
and ``New Source Review Errors Correction'' 86 FR 37918 (July 19, 
2021). The SIP revision also amends Mississippi's SIP-approved PSD 
rules to adopt public participation e-notice provisions consistent with 
EPA's October 5, 2016, rule ``Revisions to Public Notice Provisions in 
Clean Air Act Permitting Programs''.\2\ The modeling updates at Chapter 
2 and 5 respecting references to Appendix W in 40 CFR 52.21(l) support 
the state's request to convert EPA's March 1, 2023, conditional 
approval of the PSD requirements of elements 110(a)(2)(C), (D)(i)(II) 
(Prong 3), and (J), and the air quality modeling element under section 
110(a)(2)(K), of Mississippi's 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS infrastructure 
SIP (iSIP) \3\ to a full approval.\4\ The SIP revision also includes 
minor changes to Mississippi's PSD regulations at Chapter 2 \5\ and 
Chapter 5. The February 28, 2024, SIP submission provides additional 
changes to 11 MAC, Part 2, Chapter 2 to address NSR requirements, as 
well as minor grammatical errors which will be addressed in a separate 
rulemaking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The update to air quality modeling from the updated IBR date 
in 11 MAC, Part 2, Chapter 5, Rule 5.2, also updates modeling 
requirements at 11 MAC, Part 2, Chapter 2, Rule 2.5 because this 
Rule cross-references Rule 5.2 for purposes of air quality modeling.
    \2\ See 81 FR 71613.
    \3\ On October 1, 2015, EPA promulgated a revised primary and 
secondary NAAQS for ozone, revising the 8-hour ozone standards from 
0.075 parts per million (ppm) to a new more protective level of 
0.070 ppm. See 80 FR 65292 (October 26, 2015). Pursuant to section 
110(a)(1) of the CAA, states are required to submit SIP revisions 
meeting the applicable requirements of section 110(a)(2) within 
three years after promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS or within 
such shorter period as EPA may prescribe. Section 110(a)(2) requires 
states to address basic SIP elements such as requirements for 
monitoring, basic program requirements, and legal authority that are 
designed to assure attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS. This 
particular type of SIP is commonly referred to as an 
``infrastructure SIP'' or ``iSIP.'' States were required to submit 
such SIP revisions for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS to EPA no later 
than October 1, 2018.
    \4\ Mississippi submitted two SIP submissions on September 6, 
2019, and January 25, 2021, to address their 110(a)(1) and (2) 
infrastructure obligations for the 2015 ozone standard. Through 
previous rulemakings, EPA approved most of the iSIP elements for the 
2015 ozone NAAQS. See 87 FR 57832 (September 22, 2022), and 88 FR 
9336 (February 13, 2023). On March 1, 2023, EPA finalized the 
conditional approval for the PSD infrastructure elements (i.e., 
section 110(a)(2)(C), (D)(i)(II) (prong 3) and (J)), and the air 
quality modeling element of section 110(a)(2)(K), portion of the 
January 25, 2021, infrastructure SIP submission, as supplemented on 
November 18, 2022.
    The March 1, 2023, conditional approval of the PSD and air 
quality modeling iSIP provisions established a requirement for 
Mississippi to submit a final SIP submission that addresses the 
terms of the conditional approval commitment one year after EPA's 
conditional approval of these portions of Mississippi's ozone iSIP 
or March 1, 2024. Accordingly, on February 28, 2024, Mississippi 
submitted a final SIP revision in response to the conditional 
approval commitment to address the outdated references to the 
federal guideline on air quality modeling, by revising Chapter 2 and 
Chapter 5 to require the use of the current version of 40 CFR part 
51, Appendix W (Guideline on Air Quality Models).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Through a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published on 
September 16, 2024 (89 FR 75517), EPA proposed to approve the changes 
to 11 MAC Part 2, Chapter 2, Rules 2.5B(1) and B(2), Application 
Review; 11 MAC, Part 2, Chapter 5, Rule 5.1, Purpose of this 
regulation; Rule 5.2, Adoption of Federal Rules by Reference; Rule 5.3, 
Definition of term ``Administrator''; Rule 5.4, Adoption of Federal 
Rules for Exclusions from Increment Consumption; Rule 5.6 
Applicability; and Rule 5.7, Public Participation into Mississippi's 
SIP and to convert the conditional approval of the portions of the 2015 
8-hour ozone NAAQS iSIP that address the PSD related requirements of 
CAA sections 110(a)(2)(C), 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) (prong 3), and 
110(a)(2)(J), and the modeling requirements of 110(a)(2)(K) to a full 
approval.\6\ The contents of Mississippi's submission, EPA's rationale 
for approving the changes, and EPA's rationale for converting the 
conditional approval action to full approval, are described in more 
detail in the September 16, 2024, NPRM. Comments on the September 16, 
2024, NPRM were due on or before October 16, 2024. EPA received one 
comment on the September 16, 2024, NPRM. The comment is available in 
the docket for this action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The IBR date change has the effect of incorporating PSD-
related rule revisions EPA has promulgated since February 17, 2016, 
through December 27, 2023, which ensures that the most recent 
version of Appendix W will be used when considering air quality 
modeling for PSD purposes in Mississippi. Mississippi's February 28, 
2024, SIP revision also revises 11 MAC, Part 2, Chapter 2, Rule 
2.5(B) to reference the version of Appendix W approved in Chapter 5. 
Thus, by cross-referencing 11 MAC, Part 2, Chapter 5 for purposes of 
modeling ambient concentrations of air pollutants in 11 MAC, Part 2, 
Chapter 2, Rule 2.5(B), the State's regulation ensures that any 
required modeling of ambient air quality will use the most recent 
guidelines at Appendix W.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Response to Comments

    EPA received one comment on the August 16, 2024, NPRM. EPA has

[[Page 86753]]

summarized and responded to the comment below.
    Comment: The Commenter expressed support for the proposed changes 
to Mississippi's SIP-approved PSD permitting program to align with 
federal air pollution control guidelines, specifically those in 
Appendix W. The Commenter emphasized the importance of using the best 
tools available to monitor air quality and reduce pollutants like 
ozone. However, the Commenter expressed concerns about the potential 
financial strain these changes might impose on smaller business. The 
Commenter suggested that measures such as extending deadlines or 
providing financial support could help these businesses so they can 
comply without struggling.
    Response: EPA appreciates the Commenter's support for this action. 
The Commenter also raised concerns about the potential burden the 
changes may place on smaller businesses, suggesting additional time for 
compliance or financial support so they can follow the rules without 
struggling. Due to the general nature of the Commenter's requests and 
suggestions, EPA is only able to provide general responses.
    While EPA sets the NAAQS, states play a primary role in 
implementation. The CAA establishes a system of cooperative federalism 
that sets specific roles for EPA and the states. In this system, EPA 
provides national leadership and sets national standards for 
environmental protection, such as the NAAQS. Under CAA section 110, 
states have broad discretion to choose the mix of emission limitations 
and other control measures, means, or techniques that they will 
implement (or update) through a SIP to provide for attainment and 
maintenance of the NAAQS. EPA's role, with respect to a SIP revision, 
is focused on reviewing the submission to determine whether it meets 
the minimum criteria of the CAA, including a requirement to adopt a PSD 
program. Where a SIP revision meets the minimum CAA criteria, EPA must 
approve the submission. When approving a SIP revision, the Agency is 
not establishing its own requirements for the state to implement.
    Regarding the Commenter's suggestion to allow small businesses 
additional time to meet the rules, as explained above, EPA's role is 
focused on reviewing the submission to determine whether it meets the 
minimum criteria of the CAA and must approve submissions that do. As 
such, EPA cannot unilaterally adopt a different deadline for compliance 
with the State's PSD rules if they conform to the CAA requirements. As 
explained above and in the NPRM, Mississippi is updating its 
incorporation date for the federal PSD rules at 40 CFR 52.21 from 
February 17, 2016, to December 27, 2023.\7\ The changes to the State's 
SIP are consistent with changes to the federal PSD rules that occurred 
between February 17, 2016, and December 27, 2023, and therefore conform 
to CAA PSD regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The federal rules at 40 CFR 52.21 implement PSD requirements 
for PSD programs administered by EPA and states with delegated 
authority. The requirements for state PSD programs in SIPs at found 
at 40 CFR 51.166.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commenter states that small businesses might have a hard time 
paying for the changes needed to follow these new rules, and suggests 
helping these businesses by offering financial support so they can 
follow the rules without struggling. As noted above, the CAA delegates 
to states the primary role in implementation through SIPs to attain and 
maintain each NAAQS. EPA appreciates the concerns the Commenter 
expressed regarding compliance by smaller businesses. EPA notes that 
the changes to Mississippi's PSD program do not change the universe of 
sources subject to preconstruction review under the program. EPA also 
notes that the PSD regulations have required the use of Appendix W 
modeling guidelines for decades, and that the Agency emphasized that 
air quality modeling should utilize the most advanced practical 
technology that is available at a reasonable cost to users when 
adopting the 2017 revisions to Appendix W. See 82 FR 5182, 5185 
(January 17, 2017).
    Therefore, while EPA has considered this feedback on the proposed 
rule, EPA has determined that the proposed SIP revision is consistent 
with the requirements of the CAA and is not altering its decision to 
proceed with the finalization of this action. Consequently, EPA is 
approving this revision to the Mississippi's SIP.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes 
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 
51.5, and as discussed in Section I of this preamble, EPA is finalizing 
the incorporation by reference of Mississippi Rules 11 MAC, Part 2, 
Chapter 2, Rules 2.5B(1) and B(2), Application Review; \8\ 11 MAC, Part 
2, Chapter 5, Rule 5.1, Purpose of this regulation; Rule 5.2, Adoption 
of Federal Rules by Reference; \9\ Rule 5.3, Definition of term 
``Administrator''; Rule 5.4, Adoption of Federal Rules for Exclusions 
from Increment Consumption; Rule 5.6, Applicability; and Rule 5.7, 
Public Participation, all of which are State effective on March 24, 
2024.\10\ EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials 
generally available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 4 
Office (please contact the person identified in the ``For Further 
Information Contact'' section of this preamble for more information). 
Therefore, these materials have been approved by EPA for inclusion in 
the State implementation plan, have been incorporated by reference by 
EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable under sections 110 
and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of 
EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference in the next 
update to the SIP compilation.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Except for Rules 2.5(A) and 2.5(C) through (E) which have a 
state effective date of 7/25/2013, Mississippi's February 28, 2024, 
SIP submission provides additional changes to 11 MAC, Part 2, 
Chapter 2 to address NSR requirements, as well as minor grammatical 
errors which will be addressed in a separate rulemaking.
    \9\ Rule 5.2 does not incorporate by reference the provisions at 
52.21(b)(2)(v) and (b)(3)(iii)(c) that were stayed indefinitely by 
the Fugitive Emissions Interim Rule (76 FR 17548 (March 30, 2011)). 
EPA will retain the text in the explanation column for Rule 5.2 at 
40 CFR 52.1270(c).
    \10\ Rules 5.3 through 5.6 were previously approved into the SIP 
but were inadvertently not added to the CFR table at 40 CFR 
52.1270(c). This action corrects this oversight. Rule 5.5 was not 
changed through this SIP revision, so the table entry will reflect 
the state effective date of the version incorporated into the SIP.
    \11\ See 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Final Action

    EPA is approving the aforementioned changes to 11 MAC Part 2, 
Chapter 2, Rule 2.5B(1) and B(2), Application Review; 11 MAC, Part 2, 
Chapter 5, Rule 5.1, Purpose of this regulation; Rule 5.2, Adoption of 
Federal Rules by Reference; Rule 5.3, Definition of term 
``Administrator''; Rule 5.4, Adoption of Federal Rules for Exclusions 
from Increment Consumption; Rule 5.6, Applicability; and Rule 5.7, 
Public Participation. EPA is approving these changes because they are 
consistent with EPA's federal PSD permitting regulations and the CAA. 
In addition, EPA is converting the conditional approval portions of the 
2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS iSIP that address the PSD related requirements 
of CAA sections 110(a)(2)(C), 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) (prong 3), and 
110(a)(2)(J), and the modeling requirements of 110(a)(2)(K) to a full 
approval.

[[Page 86754]]

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. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in 
reviewing SIP submissions, 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:
    <bullet> 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 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023);
    <bullet> Does not impose an information collection burden under the 
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
    <bullet> 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.);
    <bullet> 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);
    <bullet> Does not have federalism implications as specified in 
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
    <bullet> Is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, 
April 23, 1997) because it approves a state program;
    <bullet> Is not a significant regulatory action subject to 
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and
    <bullet> 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.
    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 rulemaking 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).
    Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental 
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629, 
February 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address 
``disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental 
effects'' of their actions on communities with environmental justice 
(EJ) concerns to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law. 
EPA defines EJ as ``the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of 
all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with 
respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of 
environmental laws, regulations, and policies.'' EPA further defines 
the term fair treatment to mean that ``no group of people should bear a 
disproportionate burden of environmental harms and risks, including 
those resulting from the negative environmental consequences of 
industrial, governmental, and commercial operations or programs and 
policies.''
    Mississippi did not evaluate EJ considerations as part of its SIP 
submittal; the CAA and applicable implementing regulations neither 
prohibit nor require such an evaluation. EPA did not perform an EJ 
analysis and did not consider EJ in this action. Consideration of EJ is 
not required as part of this action, and there is no information in the 
record inconsistent with the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of achieving 
environmental justice for communities with EJ concerns.
    This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and EPA 
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the 
Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ``major 
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review 
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for 
the appropriate circuit by December 30, 2024. Filing a petition for 
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect 
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor 
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may 
be filed and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or 
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to 
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).
