Air Plan Approval; Indiana;
Redesignation of the Indiana Portion of
the Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-IN-KY
Area to Attainment of the 1997 Annual
Standard for Fine Particulate Matter
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is redesignating the
Indiana portion of the CincinnatiHamilton, OH-IN-KY, nonattainment
area (hereafter, ‘‘the CincinnatiHamilton area’’) to attainment for the
1997 fine particulate matter (PM2.5)
annual national ambient air quality
standard (NAAQS or standard). The
Indiana portion of the CincinnatiHamilton area includes Lawrenceburg
Township within Dearborn County.
Because EPA has determined that the
Cincinnati-Hamilton area is attaining
this annual PM2.5 standard, EPA is
redesignating the area to attainment and
also approving several additional
related actions. First, EPA is approving
an update to the Indiana State
implementation plan (SIP) by updating
the state’s approved plan for

maintaining the 1997 annual PM2.5
NAAQS through 2027. In addition, EPA
previously approved the base year
emissions inventory for the CincinnatiHamilton area, and is approving
Indiana’s updated emissions inventory
which includes emissions inventories
for volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
and ammonia. Indiana’s approved
maintenance plan submission also
includes a budget for the mobile source
contribution of PM2.5 and nitrogen
oxides (NOX) to the CincinnatiHamilton area for transportation
conformity purposes, which EPA is
approving. EPA is taking these actions
in accordance with the Clean Air Act
(CAA) and EPA’s implementation rule
regarding the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS.
DATES: This final rule is effective
September 1, 2017.

docket for this action under Docket ID

I. Background

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

redesignate the Cincinnati-Hamilton
area to attainment for the 1997 PM2.5
annual standard, and to approve
updates to the maintenance plan for the
area. In an action published on June 22,
2017 (82 FR 28435), EPA proposed to
redesignate the area and approve several
actions related to the redesignation (82
FR 28435). Additional background and
details regarding this final action can be
found in the June 22, 2017, proposed
rule. The comment period for this
proposed rulemaking closed on July 24,
2017. No comments were received for
this proposed rule.
II. What action is EPA taking?
EPA is taking several actions related
to redesignation of the CincinnatiHamilton area to attainment for the 1997
annual PM2.5 NAAQS.
EPA has previously approved
Indiana’s PM2.5 maintenance plan and
motor vehicle emissions budgets for the
Cincinnati-Hamilton area. EPA has
determined that this plan and budgets
are still applicable.
EPA has previously approved the
2005 primary PM2.5, NOX, and sulfur
dioxide (SO2) base year emissions
inventory. EPA is approving Indiana’s
updated emissions inventory which
includes emissions inventories for VOCs
and ammonia from 2007. EPA has
determined that Indiana meets the
emissions inventory requirement under
section 107(d)(3)(E)(iii).
In The Fine Particulate Matter
National Ambient Air Quality
Standards: State Implementation Plan
Requirements final rule (final PM2.5 SIP
requirements rule), EPA revoked the
1997 primary annual PM2.5 NAAQS in
areas that had always been attainment
for that NAAQS, and in areas that had
been designated as nonattainment but
that were redesignated to attainment
before October 24, 2016, the rule’s
effective date. See 81 FR 58010, August
24, 2016. EPA also finalized a provision
that revokes the 1997 primary annual
PM2.5 NAAQS in areas that are
redesignated to attainment for that
NAAQS after October 24, 2016, effective
on the effective date of the redesignation
of the area to attainment for that
NAAQS. See 40 CFR 50.13(d).
EPA is redesignating the Indiana
portion of the Cincinnati-Hamilton area
to attainment for the 1997 annual PM2.5
NAAQS and approving the CAA section
175A maintenance plan for the 1997
primary annual PM2.5 NAAQS for the
reasons described elsewhere in the
