On April 8, 2015, we published in the Federal Register a proposal to establish a FIP for the State of Arkansas addressing regional haze and visibility transport (80 FR 18944). The proposed FIP includes emission limits for sources in Arkansas. Comments on the proposed rule were required to be received by May 16, 2015. On May 1, 2015, we extended the comment period to July 15, 2015 (80 FR 24872). On July 23, 2015, we reopened the comment period until August 7, 2015 (80 FR 43661), in response to a request we received for an extension of the comment period. We are announcing the availability in the docket of supplemental information we relied on in our Arkansas FIP proposal, but which was inadvertently omitted from the docket at the time we proposed the FIP. In our proposed rule published on April 8, 2015, we proposed revised RPGs for the 20% worst days for Arkansas’ Class I areas, the Caney Creek and Upper Buffalo Wilderness Areas (80 FR at 18998). Our revised RPGs and our methodology for calculating the revised RPGs were discussed in detail in our proposal and in our technical support documentation,1 which was made available in the docket when the proposed rule was published on April 8, 2015. However, a spreadsheet containing the actual calculations of our revised RPGs was inadvertently omitted from the docket. Therefore, the reopening of the comment period is strictly limited to our calculations of the revised RPGs, as presented in the spreadsheet we are making available at this time in the docket. The reopening of the comment period does not apply to our general methodology for calculating the revised RPGs, to the numerical values of the revised RPGs, or to any other aspects or portions of our proposed rule, for which we have previously provided opportunity for public comment. This action will allow interested persons time to prepare and submit comments on our calculations of the revised RPGs, as presented in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1 See ‘‘Technical Support Document for EPA’s Proposed Action on the Arkansas Regional Haze Federal Implementation Plan’’ at page 147.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve portions of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) submission, submitted by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Energy and Environment Cabinet, Department for Environmental Protection, through the Kentucky Division for Air Quality (KDAQ), on April 26, 2013, to demonstrate that the Commonwealth meets the infrastructure requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) for the 2010 1-hour 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. KDAQ certified that the Kentucky SIP contains provisions that ensure the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS is implemented, enforced, and maintained in Kentucky. EPA is proposing to determine that Kentucky’s infrastructure submission, submitted on April 26, 2013, addresses certain infrastructure elements for the 2010 1hour SO2 NAAQS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 8, 2015, we published in the 
Federal Register a proposal to establish a FIP for the State of 
Arkansas addressing regional haze and visibility transport (80 FR 
18944). The proposed FIP includes emission limits for sources in 
Arkansas. Comments on the proposed rule were required to be received by 
May 16, 2015. On May 1, 2015, we extended the comment period to July 
15, 2015 (80 FR 24872). On July 23, 2015, we reopened the comment 
period until August 7, 2015 (80 FR 43661), in response to a request we 
received for an extension of the comment period.
    We are announcing the availability in the docket of supplemental 
information we relied on in our Arkansas FIP proposal, but which was 
inadvertently omitted from the docket at the time we proposed the FIP. 
In our proposed rule published on April 8, 2015, we proposed revised 
RPGs for the 20% worst days for Arkansas' Class I areas, the Caney 
Creek and Upper Buffalo Wilderness Areas (80 FR at 18998). Our revised 
RPGs and our methodology for calculating the revised RPGs were 
discussed in detail in our proposal and in our technical support 
documentation,\1\ which was made available in the docket when the 
proposed rule was published on April 8, 2015. However, a spreadsheet 
containing the actual calculations of our revised RPGs was 
inadvertently omitted from the docket. Therefore, the reopening of the 
comment period is strictly limited to our calculations of the revised 
RPGs, as presented in the spreadsheet we are making available at this 
time in the docket. The reopening of the comment period does not apply 
to our general methodology for calculating the revised RPGs, to the 
numerical values of the revised RPGs, or to any other aspects or 
portions of our proposed rule, for which we have previously provided 
opportunity for public comment. This action will allow interested 
persons time to prepare and submit comments on our calculations of the 
revised RPGs, as presented in the spreadsheet that we are making 
available in the docket at this time.
