Plan for the Second Implementation 

Period and Prong 4 (Visibility) for the 

2015 Ozone and 2012 Particulate 

Matter Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is partially approving and 

partially disapproving the regional haze 

state implementation plan (SIP) revision 

submitted by Arizona on August 15, 

2022 (‘‘2022 Arizona Regional Haze 

Plan’’), under the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

and the EPA’s Regional Haze Rule 

(RHR) for the program’s second 

implementation period. Arizona’s SIP 

submission was developed to address 

the requirement that states must 

periodically revise their long-term 

strategies for making reasonable 

progress towards the national goal of 

preventing any future, and remedying 

any existing, anthropogenic impairment 

of visibility, including regional haze, in 

mandatory Class I Federal areas. The 

SIP submission also addresses other 

applicable requirements for the second 

implementation period of the regional 

haze program. Within this action, the 

EPA is also disapproving the visibility 

transport prong of Arizona’s 

infrastructure SIP submittals for the 

2012 annual fine particulate matter 

(PM2.5) and 2015 ozone National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS). The EPA is taking this action 

pursuant to CAA sections 110 and 

169A. 

DATES: This rule is effective on January 

17, 2025. 

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R09–OAR–2024–0005. All 

documents in the docket are listed on
