AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) proposes to approve the 

state implementation plan revision 

submitted by the District of Columbia. 

This revision pertains to the 

infrastructure requirement for interstate 

transport pollution with respect to the 

2010 1-hour sulfur dioxide national 

ambient air quality standards. In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the District’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 more detailed description 

of the state submittal and EPA’s 

evaluation is included in a technical 

support document (TSD) prepared in 

support of this rulemaking action. A 

copy of the TSD is available, upon 

request, from the individual listed in the 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section of this document or is also 

available electronically within the 

Docket for this rulemaking action. 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will be withdrawn and all public 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 17, 2017.

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

outside of the primary submission (i.e., 

on the Web, cloud, or other file sharing 

system). For additional submission
