110(a)(2)(C) Comment: 

The State of Wyoming has a SIP-approved PSD program covering the requirements for all regulated 

NSR pollutants, including GHG, which meets the requirements of 110(a)(2)(C). Emission limits and 

control measures that satisfy the requirements of 110(a)(2)(C) are identified under section 110(a)(2)(A) 

“Emission limits and other control measures,” included in this document.

Wyoming’s program for enforcement of control measures meets the requirements of the CAA section 

110(a)(2)(C) for the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS.

Interstate and international transport provisions: Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) requires SIPs to include 

provisions prohibiting any source or other type of emissions activity in one state from contributing 

significantly to nonattainment, or interfering with maintenance, of the NAAQS in another state, or from 

interfering with measures required to prevent significant deterioration of air quality, or to protect 

visibility, in another state. 

Section 110(a)(2)(D)(ii) requires SIPs to include adequate provisions insuring compliance with 

applicable requirements of sections 126 and 115 (relating to interstate and international pollution 

abatement).

110(a)(2)(D) Comment:

The WDEQ-AQD (AQD) identified a nearby area as designated nonattainment for the 1-hour sulfur 

dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) in the State of Montana. The AQD 

relies on distance between sources and wind rose plots from District 3 in Wyoming to address the 

transport of SO2. Based on this information, the State of Wyoming confirms that SO2 emissions from 

Wyoming do not contribute to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 1-hour SO2 NAAQS 

in Montana or another state, and therefore meet the requirements of 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I).

(Attachment A) 

No source or sources within the State are the subject of an active finding under section 126 of the CAA,

and there are no final findings under section 115 of the CAA against Wyoming with respect to the 2010 

1-hour SO2 NAAQS. Therefore, Wyoming’s infrastructure SIP meets the requirements of CAA section 

110(a)(2)(D)(ii) for the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS. 

Adequate personnel, funding and authority: Section 110(a)(2)(E) requires states to provide for 

adequate personnel, funding, and legal authority under state law, and CAA section 128 requirements to 

carry out its SIP.

The State of Wyoming also receives sections 103 and 105 grant funds through its Performance 

Partnership Agreement (PPA) grants along with required State matching funds to provide funding 

necessary to carry out Wyoming’s SIP requirements. The State has the authority, funding and adequate 

personnel to fulfill the requirements necessary to meet section 110(a)(2)(E)(i) for the 2010 1-hour SO2 

NAAQS.

Wyoming statutes and Executive Orders provide the mechanisms to satisfy CAA section 128 and meet

the requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) for the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS. 

The State does not rely upon any other local or regional government agency or instrumentality for 

implementation of the SIP, and therefore meets the requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2)(E)(iii) for 

the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS.

Stationary source monitoring system: Section 110(a)(2)(F) requires States to establish a system to 

monitor emissions from stationary sources, and to submit periodic emissions reports.

revision for a nonattainment area, the SIP must meet applicable requirements of part D relating to 

nonattainment areas.

110(a)(2)(I) Comment:

According to EPA’s interpretation of the CAA, Section 110(a)(2)(I), Plan Revisions for Nonattainment 

Areas, will not be addressed in the context of an infrastructure SIP, and air agencies do not need to 

address Element I in an infrastructure SIP submission. Section 110(a)(2)(I) infrastructure elements will 

be reviewed and acted upon through a separate process. (Guidance on Infrastructure State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) Elements under Clean Air Act Sections 110(a)(1) and 110(a)(2), September 

13, 2013, OAQPS)

Consultation with government officials: Section 110(a)(2)(J) requires States to provide a process for 

consultation with local governments and Federal Land Managers carrying out NAAQS implementation 

requirements pursuant to section 121 relating to consultation.

110(a)(2)(J) Non-regulatory Document:

1. Consultation Document

a. Original State non-regulatory SIP document submitted to EPA on 1/25/79

b. Approved by EPA 7/2/79; 44 FR 38473

Public notification: Section 110(a)(2)(J) further requires States to notify the public if NAAQS are 

exceeded in an area and to enhance public awareness of measures that can be taken to prevent 

exceedances pursuant to section 127 relating to public notification.

110(a)(2)(J) Non-regulatory Document:

1. Public Notification of Air Quality Document

a. Original State non-regulatory SIP document submitted to EPA on 1/25/79

b. Approved by EPA 7/2/79; 44 FR 38473

PSD and visibility protection: Section 110(a)(2)(J) also requires States to meet applicable 

requirements of part C related to prevention of significant deterioration and visibility protection.

110(a)(2)(J) Non-regulatory Documents:

1. Wyoming State Implementation Plan For Class I Visibility Protection Document

ii. Approved by EPA 2/15/89; 54 FR 6912

110(a)(2)(J) Comment:

EPA recognizes that states are subject to visibility and regional haze program requirements under part 

C of the CAA. Visibility and regional haze program requirements under part C do not change when a 

new NAAQS becomes effective, and therefore no new visibility obligations are “triggered” for the 

State of Wyoming under section 110(2)(2)(J). 

Wyoming’s process for consultation with government officials, public notification, PSD and visibility 

protection meets the requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2)(J) for the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS.

Air quality modeling/data: Section 110(a)(2)(K) requires that SIPs provide for performing air quality 

modeling for predicting effects on air quality of emissions from any NAAQS pollutant, and submission 

of such data to EPA upon request.

Wyoming’s PSD program requires that estimates of ambient air concentrations be based on applicable 

air quality models specified in Appendix W of 40 CFR part 51, and that modification or substitution of 

a model specified in Appendix W must be approved by the Administrator. 

Wyoming’s air quality modeling and the submission of data programs meet the requirements of CAA 

section 110(a)(2)(K) for the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS.

Permitting fees: Section 110(a)(2)(L) requires SIPs to require each major stationary source to pay 

permitting fees to cover the cost of reviewing, approving, implementing and enforcing a permit.

110(a)(2)(L) Regulatory Documents, Wyoming Air Quality Standards and Regulations (WAQSR):

1. Chapter 6, Section 2, Permit requirements for construction, modification, and operation

a. Most recent State regulatory SIP document submitted to EPA 9/12/2003

b. EPA Final Federal Register 7/28/2004; 69 FR 44965

2. Wyoming Environmental Quality Act, Section 35-11-211(a), Fees

110(a)(2)(L) Comment: 

The Wyoming infrastructure SIP meets the requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2)(L) for the 2010 1-

hour SO2 NAAQS. 

Consultation/participation by affected local entities: Section 110(a)(2)(M) requires states to provide 

for consultation and participation in SIP development by local political subdivisions affected by the 

SIP.

110(a)(2)(M) Non-regulatory Documents:

a. Original State non-regulatory SIP document submitted to EPA on 1/28/72

b. Approved by EPA 5/31/72; 37 FR 10842
