ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 52 

[EPA–R05–OAR–2017–0280; FRL–9969–88– 

Region 5] 

Air Plan Approval; Wisconsin; 2017 

Revisions to NR 400 and 406 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a 

revision to the Wisconsin State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by 

the Wisconsin Department of Natural 

Resources (WDNR) to EPA on May 16, 

2017. The revision replaces the 

definition of ‘‘emergency electric 

generator’’ with a broader definition of 

‘‘restricted internal combustion engine’’. 

In addition, the revision makes 

amendments to procedures for revoking 

construction permits as well as language 

changes and other administrative 

updates. Lastly, WDNR is withdrawing 

two Wisconsin Administrative Code 

provisions that affect eligibility under 

general and construction permits. 

WDNR requested these changes to align 

state and Federal requirements and 

ensure consistency. EPA is proposing 

approval of Wisconsin’s May 16, 2017, 

request because the Agency has made 

the preliminary determination that this 

SIP revision is consistent with the Clean 

Air Act and applicable EPA regulations 

regarding PSD.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’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 rule, this 

rule will be effective on January 8, 2018. 

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direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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. 

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. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule which is located 

in the Rules section of this Federal 

Register.
