ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 52 

[EPA–R01–OAR–2015–0306; A–1–FRL– 

9949–31–Region 1] 

Air Plan Approval; Rhode Island; 

Correction, Administrative and 

Miscellaneous Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision submitted by the State of Rhode 

Island. This SIP revision includes 

fifteen revised Rhode Island Air 

Pollution Control Regulations. These 

regulations have been previously 

approved into the Rhode Island SIP and 

the revisions to these regulations are 

mainly administrative in nature, but 

also include technical corrections and a 

few substantive changes to several of the 

rules. In addition, EPA is proposing a 

correction to the Rhode Island SIP to 

remove Rhode Island’s odor regulation 

because it was previously erroneously 

approved into the SIP. The intended 

effect of this action is to propose to 

approve Rhode Island’s fifteen revised 

regulations into the Rhode Island SIP 

and correct the Rhode Island SIP by 

removing Rhode Island’s odor 

regulation. This action is being taken in 

accordance with the Clean Air Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Rules and Regulations 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 rule, 

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direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of the 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. 

For additional information, see the 

direct final rule which is located in the 

Rules and Regulations section of this 

Federal Register. 

Dated: July 5, 2016.
