Protection,’’ incorporated by reference

Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
EPA is proposing to partially
approve and partially disapprove
revisions to the State Implementation
Plans (SIPs) for Florida, Mississippi,
and South Carolina submitted on
September 23, 2009, October 6, 2009
and September 18, 2009, respectively.
EPA is proposing to approve the
determinations, contained in those
submittals, that the existing SIPs for
Florida, Mississippi, and South Carolina
are adequate to meet the obligation
under section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) of the
Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) to address
interstate transport requirements with
regard to the 2006 24-hour particulate
matter (PM2.5) national ambient air
quality standard (NAAQS). Specifically,
the interstate transport requirements
contained in section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) of
the CAA prohibit a state’s emissions
from significantly contributing to
nonattainment or interfering with the
maintenance of the NAAQS in any other
state. EPA is proposing to approve the
States’ determinations that their existing
SIPs satisfy this requirement and to
conclude that additional control
measures are not necessary under
section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) because
emissions from Florida, Mississippi and
South Carolina do not contribute
significantly to nonattainment or
interfere with maintenance of the 2006
24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS in any other
state. EPA is also proposing to
disapprove the SIP submissions from
Florida, Mississippi and South Carolina
to the extent that they rely on the Clean
Air Interstate Rule to meet the
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) requirements for the
2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. Because
the Clean Air Interstate Rule has been
remanded by the court and did not
address the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS, it
cannot be relied upon to satisfy any
requirements related to that NAAQS. In
this action, EPA is only addressing the
SIP revisions respecting section
