Pennsylvania's Proposed Infrastructure State ImplementatioD Plan Revision 

for the 2008 Lead National Ambient Air Quality Standard 

[42 Pa.B. 3342] 

[Saturday, June 9, 2012] 

On October 28, 2008, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

promulgated revisions to the primary and secondary lead National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS). These standards were lowered from 1.5 micrograms per cubic meter 

(J1g1m3) to 0.15 J1g1m3. 

Section 110 of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) (42 U.S.C.A. § 7410) requires states to 

develop State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions and programs to meet the NAAQS 

established by the EPA to protect public health and welfare. Section 110 of the CAA also 

prescribes general elements for the implementation of SJPs. Section 110(a)(I) and (2) of the 

CAA, requires states to submit SIP revisions to the EPA Administrator that provide for 

implementation, maintenance and enforcement of the NAAQS. This SIP revision, generally 

referred to as the ItInfrastructure SIP," describes basic elements including ambient air 

quality monitoring, emission inventories, enforcement of control measures, modeling, 

nonattainment new source review, prevention of significant deterioration and stationary 

source monitoring. These elements of the SIP are designed to assure attainment and 

maintenance of the 2008 lead NAAQS. States are required to submit these SIP revisions to 

the EPA 3 years from the date a new or revised NAAQS is signed by the EPA 

Administrator. This SIP revision was due to the EPA on October 15, 2011. However, the 

EPA released its final guidance on infrastructure SIP revisions on October 14,2011; this 

SIP revision was delayed to ensure consistency with Federal guidance. 

The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is seeking comment on the 

Commonwealth's proposed Lead Infrastructure SIP revision which includes a certification 

of adequacy that the Commonwealth's infrastructure SIP elements satisfy the requirement of 

section 110(a)(1) and (2) of the CAA for the 20081ead NAAQS. The proposed SIP revision 

is available on the Department's web site at ww.dep.state.pa.us (choose Air Plans) or 

through the contact persons listed as follows. This "infrastructureU SIP revision does not 

adopt new control measures. 

The Department will hold a public hearing to receive comments on the proposed SIP 

revision on Tuesday, July 10,2012, at 1 p.m. at the Department's Southcentral Regional 

Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Susquehanna Room A, Harrisburg, P A. Persons wishing to
