SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal addresses revisions to the 

Nevada State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

that were submitted by the Nevada 

Division of Environmental Protection 

(NDEP) on January 3, 2014 and June 5, 

2014. The revisions include the 

following amended rules that relate to 

the State of Nevada’s minor source NSR 

program: 

TABLE 1—NSR RULES SUBMITTED BY NDEP 

Submitted rule Title Amended date Submittal date 

NAC 445B.22097 ................................ Standards of quality for ambient air ...................................................... 05/02/14 06/05/14

In the Rules and Regulations section 

of this Federal Register, we are 

approving the amended NSR rules listed 

above as revisions to the Nevada SIP in 

a direct final action without prior 

proposal because we believe the 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 an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

we may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule 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.

Revision to the Nebraska State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) 

Infrastructure Requirements for 2008 

Lead (Pb) National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) proposes to approve the 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision submitted by the state of 

Nebraska to address the requirements of 

section 110(a)(1) and (2) of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA) for the 2008 Lead (Pb) 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) and the inclusion into the SIP, 

of Nebraska’s conflict of interest 

provisions. Section 110(a) of the CAA 

requires that each state adopt and 

submit a SIP for the implementation, 

maintenance, and enforcement of each 

NAAQS promulgated or revised by the 

EPA. On October 18, 2011, the Nebraska 

Department of Environemtal Quality 

(NDEQ) submitted a revision to 

Nebraska’s SIP which describes the 

State’s provisions for implementing, 

maintaining, and enforcing the 

standards listed above. In addition, 

NDEQ submitted on March 11, 2014, a 

request to include conflict of interest 

provisions into the Nebraska SIP. These 

revisions are necessary to properly 

implement, maintain and enforce the 

2008 Pb NAAQS and also recognizes the 

state’s request to include Nebraska’s 

conflict of interest provisions into the 

SIP.
