For all the reasons set forth in the parallel direct final rule, we are proposing to approve the State of Arizona’s boundary redesignation of the Hayden/Miami PM10 nonattainment area into two separate PM10 nonattainment areas: Hayden and Miami, and to determine that the Miami moderate PM10 nonattainment area in Arizona is attaining the PM10 national ambient air quality standard. A determination of attainment is not a redesignation to attainment under CAA section 107(d)(3) because we have not yet approved a maintenance plan as required under section 175A of the CAA or determined that the area has met the other CAA requirements for redesignation. Also, for all the reasons set forth in the parallel direct final rule, we further propose to determine that, because the Miami area is attaining the PM10 NAAQS, certain attainment demonstration requirements, along with other related requirements of the CAA, are not applicable to the Miami area for so long as the area continues to attain. Lastly, EPA is proposing to correct two errors in previous rulemakings that involved the classification of PM10 nonattainment areas within the State of Arizona.

The community may at any time enact stricter requirements of its own, or pursuant to policies established by other Federal, State or regional entities.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the State of Arizona's boundary 
redesignation of the Hayden/Miami PM10 nonattainment area 
into two separate PM10 nonattainment areas: Hayden and 
Miami. EPA is also proposing to find that the Miami PM10 
nonattainment area is attaining the PM10 national ambient 
air quality standard, and, based on this attainment finding, EPA is 
proposing to determine that certain Clean Air Act requirements are not 
applicable for so long as the Miami area shows continued attainment of 
the standard based on current, publicly available, quality-assured 
monitoring data. EPA is taking this action consistent with obligations 
under the Clean Air Act to act on State redesignations. Lastly, EPA is 
proposing to correct two errors in previous rulemakings that involved 
the designations of PM10 areas within the State of Arizona.

a maintenance plan as required under section 175A of the CAA or 
determined that the area has met the other CAA requirements for 
redesignation.
    Also, for all the reasons set forth in the parallel direct final 
rule, we further propose to determine that, because the Miami area is 
attaining the PM10 NAAQS, certain attainment demonstration 
requirements, along with other related requirements of the CAA, are not 
applicable to the Miami area for so long as the area continues to 
attain. Lastly, EPA is proposing to correct two errors in previous 
rulemakings that involved the classification of PM10 
nonattainment areas within the State of Arizona.

underlying our proposed action, please see the direct final rule.
