SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 this 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 Section of this Federal Register.

1 In 2003, the City of Louisville and Jefferson 

County governments merged and the ‘‘Jefferson 

County Air Pollution Control District’’ was renamed 

the ‘‘Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control 

District.’’ However, each of the regulations in the 

Jefferson County portion of the Kentucky SIP still 

has the subheading ‘‘Air Pollution Control District 

of Jefferson County.’’ Thus, to be consistent with 

the terminology used in the SIP, EPA refers 

throughout this notice to regulations contained in 

Jefferson County portion of the Kentucky SIP as the 

‘‘Jefferson County’’ regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document, ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us’’ 

and ‘‘our’’ refer to the EPA. This 

proposal addresses the following local 

rules: 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, and 2.10. In the Rules 

and Regulations section of this Federal 

Register, we are approving these local 

rules in a direct final action without 

prior proposal because we believe these 

SIP revisions are not controversial. If we 

receive adverse comments, however, we 

will publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule and address the 

comments in subsequent action based 

on this proposed rule. Please note that 

if we receive adverse comment on a 

particular rule, we may adopt as final 

those rules that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. 

We do not plan to open a second 

comment period, so anyone interested 

in commenting should do so at this 

time. If we do not receive adverse 

comments, no further activity is 

planned. For further information, please 

see the direct final action.

Region 4] 

Air Plan Approval; Kentucky; 

Revisions to Louisville Definitions and 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: On March 22, 2011, and May 

3, 2012, the Commonwealth of 

Kentucky, through the Kentucky 

Division for Air Quality (KDAQ), 

submitted revisions to the Kentucky 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) on 

behalf of the Louisville Metro Air 

Pollution Control District (District). At 

this time, the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

several portions of the submissions that 

modify the District’s air quality 

regulations as incorporated into the SIP. 

The revisions to the regulatory portion 

of the SIP that EPA is proposing to 

approve pertain to changes to the 

District’s air quality standards for lead 

(Pb), particulate matter (both PM2.5 and 

PM10), ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide 

(NO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) to 

reflect the National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS), definitional 

changes, and regulatory consolidation. 

EPA is proposing to approve these 

portions of the SIP revisions because the 

Commonwealth has demonstrated that 

these changes are consistent with the 

Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). EPA will 

act on the other portions of KDAQ’s 

March 22, 2011, and May 3, 2012, 

submittals in a separate action. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before August 31, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R04– 

OAR–2015–0521 at http://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 

instructions for submitting comments. 

Once submitted, comments cannot be 

edited or removed from Regulations.gov. 

EPA may publish any comment received 

to its public docket. Do not submit 

electronically any information you 

consider to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Multimedia submissions (audio, video, 

etc.) must be accompanied by a written 

comment. The written comment is 

considered the official comment and 

should include discussion of all points 

you wish to make. EPA will generally 

not consider comments or comment 

contents located outside of the primary 

submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or 

other file sharing system). For

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Sections 108 and 109 of the CAA 

govern the establishment, review, and 

revision, as appropriate, of the NAAQS 

to protect public health and welfare. 

The CAA requires periodic review of the 

air quality criteria—the science upon 

which the standards are based—and the 

standards themselves. EPA’s regulatory 

provisions that govern the NAAQS are 

found at 40 CFR 50—National Primary 

and Secondary Ambient Air Quality 

Standards. In this rulemaking, EPA is 

proposing to approve portions of the 

revisions to the Jefferson County air 

quality regulations 1 in the Kentucky 

SIP, submitted by the Commonwealth 

on March 22, 2011, and May 3, 2012. 

The March 22, 2011, submission revises 

Jefferson County Regulation 1.02— 

Definitions and consolidates 

Regulations 3.02—Applicability of 

Ambient Air Quality Standards; 3.03— 

Definitions; 3.04—Ambient Air Quality 

Standards; and 3.05—Methods of 

Measurement into Regulation 3.01— 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(currently entitled Purpose of Standards 

and Expression of Non-Degradation 

Intention in the SIP) by removing 

Regulations 3.02 through 3.05 and 

expanding and retitling Regulation 3.01. 

This submission also seeks to revise 

Regulation 1.06—Source SelfMonitoring and Reporting and 

Regulation 1.07—Emissions During
