ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to determine
that the Philadelphia-WilmingtonAtlantic City, PA–NJ–MD–DE marginal
ozone nonattainment area (the
Philadelphia Area) has attained the
2008 ozone national ambient air quality
standard (NAAQS) by the July 20, 2016
attainment date. This proposed
determination is based on complete,
certified, and quality assured ambient
air quality monitoring data for the
Philadelphia Area for the 2013–2015
monitoring period. This proposed
determination does not constitute a
redesignation to attainment. This action
is being taken under the Clean Air Act
(CAA).
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before May 18, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A. Statutory Requirement—
Determination of Attainment by the
Attainment Date
Section 181(b)(2) of the CAA requires
EPA to determine, within 6 months of
an ozone nonattainment area’s
attainment date, whether that area
attained the ozone standard by that date.
Section 181(b)(2) of the CAA also
requires that areas that have not attained
the standard by their attainment
deadlines be reclassified to either the
next higher classification (e.g., marginal
to moderate, moderate to serious, etc.)
or to the classifications applicable to the
areas’ design values in Table 1 of 40
CFR 51.1103. CAA section 181(a)(5)
provides a mechanism by which the
EPA Administrator may grant a 1-year
extension of an area’s attainment
deadline, provided that the relevant
states meet certain criteria.
B. The Philadelphia Area and Its
Attainment Date
On July 18, 1997 at 62 FR 38855, EPA
promulgated a revised ozone NAAQS of
0.08 parts per million (ppm), averaged
over eight hours. This standard was
determined to be more protective of
public health than the previous 1979 1hour ozone standard. In 2008, EPA
revised the 8-hour ozone NAAQS from
0.08 to 0.075 ppm (the 2008 ozone
NAAQS). See 73 FR 16436 (March 27,
2008). In a May 21, 2012 final rule, the
Philadelphia Area was designated as
marginal nonattainment for the more
stringent 2008 ozone NAAQS, effective
on July 20, 2012. 77 FR 30088, 30143.
