EPA is proposing to partially

revision to the Nebraska State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by
the State of Nebraska through the
Nebraska Department of Environmental
Quality (NDEQ) on July 13, 2011 that
addresses regional haze for the first
implementation period. This revision
was submitted to address the
requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA
or Act) and our rules that require States
to prevent any future and remedy any
existing man-made impairment of
visibility in mandatory Class I areas
caused by emissions of air pollutants
from numerous sources located over a
wide geographic area (also referred to as
the ‘‘regional haze program’’). States are
required to ensure reasonable progress
toward the national goal of achieving
natural visibility conditions in Class I
areas. EPA is proposing to approve a
portion of this SIP revision as meeting
certain requirements of the regional
haze program and to partially approve
and partially disapprove those portions
