NOX sources in the HGB area on April
2, 2013 (78 FR 19599). Also, see 40 CFR
52. 2270(e).
Taken together, we are proposing to
find Texas has RACT-level controls in
place for all affected VOC and NOX
sources in the HGB and DFW areas
under the 1997 8-Hour ozone standard.
III. Proposed Action
We are proposing to approve rule
revisions to sections 30 TAC chapter
115.422, 115.427, 115.429, 115.430,
115.432, 115.433, 115.435, 115.436, and
115.439 implementing controls on the
source categories of Table 1 of this
action.
We are proposing to approve new
sections 30 TAC chapter 115.431,
115.450, 115.451, 115.453–115.455,
115.458–115.461, 115.463–115.465,
115.468–115.471, 115.473–115.475,
115.478, and 115.479 implementing
controls on the source categories of
Table 1 of this action.
We are proposing to approve repeal of
section 30 TAC chapter 115.437.
We are proposing to find that for VOC
CTG categories identified in Table 1
Texas has RACT-level controls in place
for the HGB and DFW areas under the
1997 8-Hour ozone standard.
We are proposing to find that Texas
has RACT-level controls in place for the
Flexographic and Rotogravure Printing
operations for the HGB area.
We are proposing to approve the
negative declarations as explained in
section II(C) of this action.
We are proposing to approve NOX
RACT for the DFW area under the 1997
8-Hour ozone standard.
In consideration of the rule revisions
proposed for approval in this action, as
well as the rule revisions previously
approved, taken together, we are
proposing that with its rules in 30 TAC
Chapters 115, and 117 Texas is
implementing RACT for all affected
VOC and NOX sources in the HGB and
DFW areas under the 1997 8-Hour ozone
standard.
We are proposing to approve these
revisions in accordance with sections
110, 182, and 183 of the federal CAA.
The EPA had previously approved
RACT for all affected NOX sources for
the HGB area under the 1997 8-Hour
ozone standard.
The EPA had previously approved
RACT for all affected VOC and NOX
sources into Texas’ SIP under the 1Hour ozone standard.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the
Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:28 Jan 20, 2015
Jkt 235001
provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. If a portion of the
plan revision meets all the applicable
requirements of this chapter and Federal
regulations, the Administrator may
approve the plan revision in part. 42
U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus,
in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s
role is to approve state choices that meet
the criteria of the Act, and to disapprove
state choices that do not meet the
criteria of the Act. Accordingly, this
proposed action approves state law as
meeting Federal requirements and does
not impose additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law. For
that reason, this proposed action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993);
• does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• is not subject to requirements of
section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act;
• does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994); and
• is not approved to apply on any
Indian reservation land or in any other
area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has
jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal
implications as specified by Executive
Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000), nor will it impose substantial

Maintenance Plan for Steamboat

Agency.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing approval of
the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revisions submitted by the State of
Colorado. On May 11, 2012, the
designee of the Governor of Colorado
submitted to EPA a revised maintenance
plan for the Steamboat Springs area for
the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) for particulate
matter with an aerodynamic diameter
less than or equal to 10 microns (PM10).
The SIP was adopted by the State on
December 15, 2011. As required by
Clean Air Act (CAA) section 175A, this
revised maintenance plan addresses
maintenance of the PM10 standard for a
second 10-year period beyond the area’s
original redesignation to attainment for
the PM10 NAAQS. In addition, EPA is
proposing approval of the revised
maintenance plan’s 2024 transportation
conformity motor vehicle emissions
budget for PM10. This action is being
taken under sections 110 and 175A of
the CAA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Rules section of this Federal Register,
the EPA is approving the State’s SIP
revision through a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial
SIP revision and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for the
approval is set forth in the preamble to
the direct final rule. If EPA receives no
adverse comments, EPA will not take
further action on this proposed rule. If
EPA receives adverse comments, EPA
will withdraw the direct final rule and
it will not take effect. Then, EPA will
address all public comments in a
subsequent final rule based on this
proposed rule. EPA will not institute a
second comment period on this action.
Any parties interested in commenting
must do so at this time. Please note that
if EPA receives adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of
this rule and if that provision may be
severed from the remainder of the rule,
EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an
adverse comment. See the information
provided in the direct final action of the
same title which is located in the Rules

Approval and Promulgation of

Infrastructure Requirements for the
2008 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient
Air Quality Standards
Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve
in part and disapprove in part the State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision,
submitted by the State of Alabama,
through the Alabama Department of
Environmental Management (ADEM),
for inclusion into the Alabama SIP. This
proposal pertains to the Clean Air Act
(CAA or the Act) infrastructure
requirements for the 2008 8-hour ozone
national ambient air quality standards
(NAAQS). The CAA requires that each
state adopt and submit a SIP for the
implementation, maintenance, and
enforcement of each NAAQS
promulgated by EPA, which is
commonly referred to as an
‘‘infrastructure’’ SIP. ADEM certified
that the Alabama SIP contains
provisions that ensure the 2008 8-hour
ozone NAAQS is implemented,
enforced, and maintained in Alabama.
With the exception of provisions
pertaining to prevention of significant
deterioration (PSD) permitting,
interstate transport, and visibility
protection requirements for which EPA
is proposing no action through this
notice, and with the exception of the
provisions respecting state boards, for
which EPA is proposing disapproval,
EPA is proposing to approve Alabama’s
infrastructure SIP submission provided
to EPA on August 20, 2012, as satisfying
the required infrastructure elements for
the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before February 20, 2015.
