23See NOPR, 157 FERC ¶ 61,122 at P 42 (citing 

PJM Interconnection, L.L.C., 151 FERC ¶ 61,097, at 

P 28 (2015)). 

Commission could potentially mitigate 

or eliminate them? 

3. Is an exemption appropriate for all 

or a subset of small generating facilities 

based on possible disproportionate cost 

impacts of installing the capability to 

provide primary frequency response? If 

so, please provide specific cost data 

demonstrating that is the case. 

4. Given their increasing market 

penetration and operational role in the 

Bulk-Power System, please discuss the 

extent to which small generating 

facilities are necessary to ensure 

adequate primary frequency response. 

5. Please discuss whether PJM 

Interconnection, L.L.C.’s (PJM’s) recent 

changes to its interconnection 

agreements, which require new large 

and small non-synchronous generating 

facilities to install enhanced inverters 

that include primary frequency response 

capability,23 address concerns regarding 

possible disproportionate costs or 

barriers resulting from applying the 

NOPR proposals to the entire set of 

small generating facilities. If yes, please 

discuss the viability of applying PJM’s 

approach in other regions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

In the Final Rules Section of this 

Federal Register, EPA is approving the 

portion of Alabama’s May 7, 2012, SIP 

revision addressing the State’s PSD 

program as a direct final rule without 

prior proposal because the Agency 

views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule and incorporated herein by 

reference. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all 

adverse 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 do so at this time.

Approval of Iowa’s Air Quality 

Implementation Plan; Muscatine Sulfur 

Dioxide Nonattainment Area 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision, which the State of Iowa (the 

state) submitted to the EPA on May 26, 

2016, for attaining the 1-hour sulfur 

dioxide (SO2) primary National Ambient 

Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for the 

Muscatine nonattainment area. This 

plan (herein called a ‘‘nonattainment 

plan’’) includes the state’s attainment 

demonstration and other elements 

required under Clean Air Act (CAA) 

sections 172, 191, and 192. In addition 

to an attainment demonstration, the 

plan addresses the requirement for 

meeting reasonable further progress 

(RFP) toward attainment of the NAAQS, 

reasonably available control measures 

and reasonably available control 

technology (RACM/RACT), base-year 

and projection-year emission 

inventories, and contingency measures. 

The EPA proposes to conclude that the 

state has appropriately demonstrated 

that the plan provisions provide for 

attainment of the 2010 1-hour primary 

SO2 NAAQS in the Muscatine 

nonattainment area by the applicable 

attainment date and that the plan meets 

the other applicable requirements under 

CAA sections 172, 191, and 192. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 25, 2017.
