Final rule.
SUMMARY: The EPA is today making a
finding that States have failed to submit
State Implementation Plans (SIPs) to
satisfy the requirements of section
110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the Clean Air Act
(CAA) for the 8-hour ozone and PM2.5
(particles with an aerodynamic diameter
less than or equal to a nominal 2.5
micrometers) National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS). Section
110(a)(1) of the CAA requires that States
submit SIPs to meet the applicable
requirements of section 110(a)(2) within
3 years after the promulgation of a new
or revised NAAQS, or within such
shorter period as EPA may provide.
Pursuant to section 110(a)(1), States are
required to submit SIPs that satisfy the
requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)
related to interstate transport of
pollution. At present, States have not
yet submitted SIPs to satisfy this
requirement of the CAA, and EPA is by
this action making a finding of failure to
submit which starts a 2-year clock for
the promulgation of a Federal
Implementation Plan (FIP) by EPA
unless, prior to that time, each State
makes a submission to meet the
requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)
and EPA approves such submission.
The effective date of this rule is
May 25, 2005.
