Approval of Nebraska Air Quality 

Implementation Plans; Infrastructure 

SIP Requirements for the 2010 

Nitrogen Dioxide and Sulfur Dioxide 

and the 2012 Fine Particulate Matter 

National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards 

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 

Nebraska addressing the applicable 

requirements of Clean Air Act (CAA) 

section 110 for the 2010 Nitrogen 

Dioxide (NO2) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS), and the 2012 Fine Particulate 

Matter (PM2.5) NAAQS, which requires 

that each state adopt and submit a SIP 

to support implementation, 

maintenance, and enforcement of each 

new or revised NAAQS promulgated by 

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. EPA is 

proposing approval of the infrastructure 

submissions as meeting the applicable 

requirements of CAA section 110, for all 

three submittals. EPA is proposing to 

approve elements of the 2010 NO2 and 

SO2 infrastructure SIP submissions from 

the State of Nebraska received on 

February 7, 2013, and August 22, 2013, 

respectively. EPA is also proposing to 

approve the 2012 PM2.5 infrastructure 

submittal received on February 22, 

2016. In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ 

section of this Federal Register, we are 

approving the state’s SIP revisions as a 

direct final rule without a prior 

proposed rule. If we receive no adverse 

comment, we will not take further 

action on this proposed rule. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

October 20, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R07– 

OAR–2017–0477, to https://

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document proposes to take action on the 

2010 NO2 and SO2 NAAQS and the 

2012 PM2.5 NAAQS Infrastructure SIP 

submittals. We have published a direct 

final rule approving the State’s SIP 

revision (s) in the ‘‘Rules and 

Regulations’’ section of this Federal 

Register, because we view this as a 

noncontroversial action and anticipate 

no relevant adverse comment. We have 

explained our reasons for this action in 

the preamble to the direct final rule. If 

we receive no adverse comment, we will 

not take further action on this proposed 

rule. If we receive adverse comment, we 

will withdraw the direct final rule and 

it will not take effect. We would address 

all public comments in any subsequent 

final rule based on this proposed rule. 

We do not intend to institute a second 

comment period on this action. Any 

parties interested in commenting must 

do so at this time. For further 

information, please see the information 

provided in the ADDRESSES section of 

this document.
