SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules Section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

implementation plan revision as a direct 

final rule without prior proposal

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 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withdrawn and all public comments 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 on this 

document. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this document should

Haze Five-Year Progress Report 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

Vermont’s regional haze progress report, 

submitted on February 29, 2016 as a 

revision to its State Implementation

addresses requirements of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA) and EPA’s rules that require 

states to submit periodic reports 

describing the progress toward 

reasonable progress goals (RPGs) 

established for regional haze and a 

determination of adequacy of the State’s 

existing regional haze SIP. EPA is 

proposing to approve Vermont’s 

progress report on the basis that it 

addresses the progress report and 

adequacy determination requirements 

for the first implementation period 

covering through 2018.

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse
