Region 3] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; West 

Virginia; Removal of Clean Air 

Interstate Rule Trading Programs 

Replaced by Cross-State Air Pollution 

Rule Trading Programs 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) proposes to approve two 

state implementation plan (SIP) 

revisions submitted by the State of West 

Virginia. These submittals seek to 

remove from the West Virginia SIP two 

West Virginia regulations that 

established trading programs under the 

Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). The 

EPA-administered trading programs 

under CAIR were discontinued on 

December 31, 2014 upon the 

implementation of the Cross-State Air 

Pollution Rule (CSAPR), which was 

promulgated by EPA to replace CAIR. 

CSAPR established federal 

implementation plans (FIPs) for 23 

states, including West Virginia. The 

submitted SIP revisions request removal 

of two regulations that implemented the 

CAIR annual NOX and annual sulfur 

dioxide (SO2) trading programs from the 

West Virginia SIP. In the Final Rules 

section of this Federal Register, EPA is 

approving the State’s SIP submittals as 

a direct final rule without prior proposal 

because the Agency views these as 

noncontroversial submittals and 

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 action, 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will be withdrawn and all public 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. Any parties 

interested in commenting on this action 

should do so at this time. 

DATES: Comments must be received in 

writing by October 25, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R03– 

OAR–2016–0574 at http://

www.regulations.gov, or via email to 

Stahl.Cynthia@epa.gov. For comments 

submitted at Regulations.gov, follow the 

online instructions for submitting 

comments. Once submitted, comments 

cannot be edited or removed from 

Regulations.gov. For either manner of 

submission, 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. 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, please contact the person 

identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section. For the

action, with the same title, that is 

located in the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ 

section of this Federal Register 

publication. Please note that if EPA 

receives adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

EPA may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment.
