SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
public hearing provides the public with
an opportunity to present oral
comments regarding EPA’s proposed
Cross-State Air Pollution Rule Update
for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS, which
proposes Federal Implementation Plans
that identify and limit emissions of
nitrogen oxides in 23 eastern states that
affect the ability of downwind states to
attain and maintain compliance with
the 2008 ozone national ambient air
quality standard (NAAQS).
Public hearing: The proposal for
which EPA is holding the public
hearing will be published in the Federal
Register and also in docket EPA–HQ–
OAR–2015–0500 and is available at
https://www2.epa.gov/airmarkets/
proposed-cross-state-air-pollutionupdate-rule. The public hearing will
provide interested parties the
opportunity to present data, views, or
arguments concerning the proposal. The
EPA may ask clarifying questions during
the oral presentations, but will not
respond to the presentations at that
time. Written statements and supporting
information submitted during the
comment period will be considered
with the same weight as any oral
comments and supporting information
presented at the public hearing.
Commenters should notify Ms.
Stevens if they will need specific
equipment, or if there are other special
needs related to providing comments at
the hearings. The EPA will provide
equipment for commenters to show
overhead slides or make computerized
slide presentations if we receive special
requests in advance. Oral testimony will
be limited to 5 minutes for each
commenter. The EPA encourages
commenters to provide EPA with a copy
of their oral testimony electronically
(via email or CD) or in hard copy form.
The hearing schedules, including lists
of speakers, will be posted on EPA’s
Web site https://www2.epa.gov/

the day of the hearing; however, please
plan for the hearing to run either ahead
of schedule or behind schedule.

Supplemental Finding That It Is
Appropriate and Necessary To
Regulate Hazardous Air Pollutants
From Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility
Steam Generating Units
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed supplemental finding
and request for comment.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is soliciting comment on
a proposed supplemental finding that
consideration of cost does not alter the
agency’s previous conclusion that it is
appropriate and necessary to regulate
coal- and oil-fired electric utility steam
generating units (EGUs) under section
112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). In light
of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in
Michigan v. EPA, 135 S.Ct. 2699 (2015),
the EPA has taken cost into account in
evaluating whether such regulation is
appropriate. In this document, the EPA
sets forth its proposed supplemental
finding and requests comment on all
aspects of that finding and the
supporting legal memorandum in the
docket for this action. This proposed
supplemental finding, if finalized after
consideration of comments, will
conclude that coal- and oil-fired EGUs
are properly included on the CAA
section 112(c) list of sources that must
be regulated under CAA section 112(d).
DATES: Comments. Comments must be
received on or before January 15, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Comments. Submit your
comments, identified by Docket ID No.
EPA–HQ–OAR–2009–0234 at https://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
Once submitted, comments cannot be
edited or removed from regulations.gov.
The EPA may publish any comment
received to its public docket. Do not
submit electronically any information

information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Multimedia
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be
accompanied by a written comment.
The written comment is considered the
official comment and should include
discussion of all points you wish to
make. The EPA will generally not
consider comments or comment
contents located outside of the primary
submission (i.e., on the Web, Cloud, or

Instructions: All submissions must
include the agency name and Docket ID
No. (EPA–HQ–OAR–2009–0234). The
EPA’s policy is to include all comments
received without change, including any
personal information provided, in the
public docket, available online at
https://www.regulations.gov, unless the
comment includes information claimed
to be CBI or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do
not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise
protected through https://
www.regulations.gov or email. Send or
deliver information identified as CBI
only to the following address: OAQPS
Document Control Officer (C404–02),

Standards, U.S. EPA, Research Triangle
Park, North Carolina 27711, Attention

0234. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI.
For CBI information on a disk or CD–
ROM that you mail to the EPA, mark the
outside of the disk or CD–ROM as CBI
and then identify electronically within
the disk or CD–ROM the specific
information you claim as CBI. In
addition to one complete version of the
comment that includes information
claimed as CBI, you must submit a copy
of the comment that does not contain
the information claimed as CBI for
inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be
disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
The EPA requests that you also
submit a separate copy of your
comments to the contact person
identified below (see FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT). If the comment
includes information you consider to be
CBI or otherwise protected, you should
send a copy of the comment that does
not contain the information claimed as
CBI or otherwise protected.
