ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP) under the Clean Air Act. These revisions include rescissions of certain statutory provisions, administrative and prohibitory rules, and test methods. The EPA is also proposing to correct certain errors in previous actions on prior revisions to the Arizona SIP and to make certain other corrections. The intended effect is to rescind unnecessary provisions from the applicable SIP and to correct certain errors in previous SIP actions. DATES: Comments must be received by March 14, 2016.

In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the rescissions from the Arizona SIP, and correcting the errors from previous Arizona SIP rulemakings, in a direct final action without prior proposal because we believe the SIP revision and error corrections are not controversial. The rescissions involve statutory and regulatory provisions related to declarations of policy and legal authority, jurisdiction over Indian lands, prohibitory rules, and test methods and performance test specifications. The error corrections relate to an inadvertent listing of a rule on which the EPA did not take action in the Arizona SIP, a typographical error, and erroneous approvals of nonSIP submittals as part of the SIP. A detailed rationale for the approval of the rescissions and the correction of the errors is set forth in the direct final rule. If we receive adverse comments, however, we will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule and address the comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. Please note that if the 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, the EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve, in part, and disapprove in part, portions of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) submission, submitted by the State of Mississippi, through the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), on June 20, 2013, to demonstrate that the State meets the infrastructure requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) for the 2010 1hour sulfur dioxide (SO2) national ambient air quality standard (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. MDEQ certified that the Mississippi SIP contains provisions that ensure the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS is implemented, enforced, and maintained in Mississippi. With the exception of the state board majority requirements respecting significant portion of income, for which EPA is proposing to disapprove, EPA is proposing to determine that portions of Mississippi’s infrastructure submission, submitted to EPA on June 20, 2013, satisfy certain required infrastructure elements for the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS.

statutory provisions, administrative and prohibitory rules, and test 
methods. The EPA is also proposing to correct certain errors in 
previous actions on prior revisions to the Arizona SIP and to make

errors in previous SIP actions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the rescissions from the 
Arizona SIP, and correcting the errors from previous Arizona SIP 
rulemakings, in a direct final action without prior proposal because we 
believe the SIP revision and error corrections are not controversial. 
The rescissions involve statutory and regulatory provisions related to 
declarations of policy and legal authority, jurisdiction over Indian 
lands, prohibitory rules, and test methods and performance test 
specifications. The error corrections relate to an inadvertent listing 
of a rule on which the EPA did not take action in the Arizona SIP, a 
typographical error, and erroneous approvals of non-SIP submittals as 
part of the SIP.
    A detailed rationale for the approval of the rescissions and the 
correction of the errors is set forth in the direct final rule. If we 
receive adverse comments, however, we will publish a timely withdrawal 
of the direct final rule and address the comments in a subsequent final 
rule based on this proposed rule. Please note that if the 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, the 
EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the 
subject of an adverse comment.
    We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone 
interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not 
receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further 
information, see please see the direct final action.
