Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Virginia; 

Amendment to Ambient Air Quality 

Standard for Ozone 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) proposes to approve the 

state implementation plan (SIP) revision 

submitted by the Commonwealth of 

Virginia for the purpose of adding a 

revised 8-hour ozone standard of 0.070 

parts per million (ppm) to the Virginia 

SIP. This revision incorporates the 2015 

ozone national ambient air quality 

standards (NAAQS) as promulgated by 

EPA and is consistent with the NAAQS 

set out in our regulations. In the Final 

Rules section of this Federal Register, 

EPA is approving Virginia’s SIP 

submittal 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. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 November 15, 2017.
