Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; State of 

Kansas; Infrastructure SIP 

Requirements for the 2012 Annual Fine 

Particulate Matter (PM2.5) National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

elements of a State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) submission from the State of 

Kansas addressing the applicable 

requirements of Clean Air Act (CAA) 

section 110 for the 2012 annual PM2.5

NAAQS. Section 110 requires that each 

state adopt and submit a SIP to support 

the implementation, maintenance, and 

enforcement of each new or revised 

NAAQS promulgated by the EPA. These 

SIPs are commonly referred to as 

‘‘infrastructure’’ SIPs. The infrastructure 

requirements are designed to ensure that 

the structural components of each 

state’s air quality management program 

are adequate to meet the state’s 

responsibilities under the CAA. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 10, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R07– 

OAR–2016–0313, to http://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 

instructions for submitting comments. 

Once submitted, comments cannot be 

edited or removed from Regulations.gov. 

The 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. The 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 

additional submission methods, the full 

EPA public comment policy,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we refer 

to EPA. A detailed technical support 

document (TSD) is included in this 

rulemaking docket to address the 

following: a description of CAA section 

110(a)(1) and (2) infrastructure SIPs; the 

applicable elements under sections 

110(a)(1) and (2); EPA’s approach to the 

review of infrastructure SIP 

submissions, and EPA’s evaluation of 

how Kansas addressed the relevant 

elements of sections 110(a)(1) and (2). 

This section provides additional 

information by addressing the following 

questions: 

I. What is being addressed in this document? 

II. Have the requirements for approval of a 

SIP revision been met? 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

I. What is being addressed in this 

document? 

EPA is proposing to approve the 

infrastructure SIP submission received 

from the State of Kansas on November 

25, 2015. The infrastructure SIP 

submission addresses the requirements 

of CAA sections 110(a)(1) and (2) as 

applicable to the 2012 annual PM2.5

NAAQS. A TSD is included as part of 

the docket to discuss the details of this 

proposal, including an analysis of how 

the SIP meets the applicable 110 

requirements for infrastructure SIPs. 

II. Have the requirements for approval 

of a SIP revision been met? 

The state submission has met the 

public notice requirements for SIP 

submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 

51.102. The submission also satisfied 

the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 

51, appendix V. In addition, as 

explained above and in more detail in 

the TSD which is part of this docket, the 

revision meets the substantive SIP 

requirements of the CAA, including 

section 110 and implementing 

regulations. 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is proposing to approve the 

November 25, 2015, infrastructure SIP 

submission from the State of Kansas 

which addresses the requirements of 

CAA sections 110(a)(1) and (2) as 

applicable to the 2012 annual PM2.5

NAAQS. The EPA’s analysis of the 

submission is addressed in a TSD as 

part of the docket to discuss the 

proposal. 

Based upon review of the state’s 

infrastructure SIP submissions and 

relevant statutory and regulatory 

authorities and provisions referenced in 

those submissions or referenced in 

Kansas’ SIP, EPA believes that Kansas’ 

SIP will meet all applicable required 

elements of sections 110(a)(1) and (2) 

with respect to the 2012 annual PM2.5

NAAQS. 

We are processing this as a proposed 

action because we are soliciting 

comments on this proposed action. 

Final rulemaking will occur after 

consideration of any comments.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Review 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 

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 proposed action: 

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under the terms of Executive 

Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 

1993) and is therefore not subject to 

review under Executive Orders 12866 

and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 

2011); 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• 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.); 

• 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); 

• Does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• 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; and 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

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 rule 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). 

V. Statutory Authority 

The statutory authority for this 

section is provided by section 110 of the 

CAA, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7410).
