SUMMARY: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background In a proposed rule published July 14, 2015 (80 FR 40952), EPA proposed to approve updates to Administrative Rules of South Dakota (ARSD) into the South Dakota State Implementation Plan (SIP). Among the updates EPA proposed to approve was Article 74:36:05, ‘‘Operating Permits for Part 70 Sources’’ which details South Dakota’s Clean Air Act Title V program. Clean Air Act Title V requirements are not subject to Section 110 of the Clean Air Act and are thus not required to be incorporated into SIPs.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to make determinations under the Clean Air Act (CAA) that the Chicago, Illinois and Eagan, Minnesota nonattainment areas (hereafter also referred to, respectively, as the ‘‘Chicago area,’’ ‘‘Eagan area,’’ or ‘‘areas’’) have attained the 2008 lead (Pb) national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS or standard). These determinations of attainment are based upon complete, quality-assured, and certified ambient air monitoring data for the 2012–2014 design period showing that the areas have achieved attainment of the 2008 Pb NAAQS. Additionally, as a result of these determinations, EPA proposes to suspend the requirements for the areas to submit attainment demonstrations, and associated reasonably available control measures (RACM), reasonable further progress (RFP) plans, contingency measures for failure to meet RFP, and attainment deadlines, for as long as the areas continue to attain the 2008 Pb NAAQS.

Air Plan Approval; IL; MN; Determinations of Attainment of the 
2008 Lead Standard for Chicago and Eagan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to make 
determinations under the Clean Air Act (CAA) that the Chicago, Illinois 
and Eagan, Minnesota nonattainment areas (hereafter also referred to, 
respectively, as the ``Chicago area,'' ``Eagan area,'' or ``areas'') 
have attained the 2008 lead (Pb) national ambient air quality standard 
(NAAQS or standard). These determinations of attainment are based upon 
complete, quality-assured, and certified ambient air monitoring data 
for the 2012-2014 design period showing that the areas have achieved 
attainment of the 2008 Pb NAAQS. Additionally, as a result of these 
determinations, EPA proposes to suspend the requirements for the areas 
to submit attainment demonstrations, and associated reasonably 
available control measures (RACM), reasonable further progress (RFP) 
plans, contingency measures for failure to meet RFP, and attainment 
deadlines, for as long as the areas continue to attain the 2008 Pb 
NAAQS. In this action EPA is not proposing a redesignation of the areas 
to attainment of the 2008 Pb NAAQS; the areas remain designated 
nonattainment until such

[[Page 51153]]

time as EPA determines that the areas meet the CAA requirements for 
redesignation to attainment and takes action to redesignate the areas.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is making an attainment determination as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no 
further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the 
direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 
will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed 
rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should 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. For 
additional information, see the direct final rule which is located in 
the Rules section of this Federal Register.
