Finding of Failure To Submit Section 110 State Implementation
Plans for Interstate Transport for the 2006 National Ambient Air
Quality Standards for Fine Particulate Matter
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is making a finding that certain states have failed to
submit State Implementation Plans (SIPs) to satisfy the attainment and
maintenance interstate transport requirements of the Clean Air Act
(CAA) with respect to the 2006 24-hour National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) for fine particulate matter (24-hour
PM2.5 ). Pursuant to the CAA, states are required to submit
SIPs that satisfy the requirements of the CAA related to interstate
transport of pollution. This document addresses two elements of that
requirement. A state must address its significant contribution to
nonattainment and its interference with maintenance of a NAAQS in any
neighboring state. The CAA requires that states submit SIPs to meet the
applicable requirements of the CAA within 3 years after the
promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS, or within such shorter period
as EPA may provide. On September 21, 2006, EPA promulgated a final rule
establishing new standards for the 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. At
present, 29 states or territories have not yet submitted complete SIPs
to satisfy the section 110(a) nonattainment and maintenance transport
requirements. Through this action, EPA is making a finding of failure
to submit these SIPs which creates a 2-year deadline for the
promulgation of a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) by EPA unless,
prior to that deadline, a state makes a submission to meet these two
requirements of the CAA and EPA approves such submission.
DATES: The effective date of this rule is July 9, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: General questions concerning this
final rule should be addressed to Ms. Gobeail McKinley, Office of Air
Quality Planning and Standards, Geographic Strategies Group, Mail Code
C539-04, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711; telephone (919) 541-5246; e-

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On April 29, 2010, the EPA Administrator signed proposed
emission standards for the following source categories: Industrial,
Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters located at
major sources; Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers
located at area sources; and Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste
Incineration Units. On the same date, the Administrator also signed a
proposal entitled ``Identification of Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials
That Are Solid Waste.'' EPA has received a request to schedule
additional public hearings for these four related rulemakings. Given
the significant public interest in these rules and to further public
