V. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
Act and applicable Federal regulations.
42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions,
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. Accordingly, this action
merely approves state law as meeting
Federal requirements and does not
impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by state law. For that
reason, this action:
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to review by the Office of
Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82
FR 9339, February 2, 2017) regulatory
action because SIP approvals are
exempted under Executive Order 12866.
• Does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• Does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• Does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• Is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
• Is not subject to requirements of the
National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act (NTTA) because this
rulemaking does not involve technical
standards; and
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
The SIP is not approved to apply on
any Indian reservation land or in any
other area where EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has
jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal
implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000).

I. Background and Purpose
On February 10, 2017, the Rhode
Island Department of Environmental
Management (DEM) submitted to EPA a
State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision containing six revised Air
Pollution Control Regulations (APCRs):
No. 8, ‘‘Sulfur Content of Fuels;’’ No. 19,
‘‘Control of Volatile Organic
Compounds from Surface Coating
Operations;’’ No. 27, ‘‘Control of
Nitrogen Oxide Emissions;’’ No. 35,
‘‘Control of Volatile Organic
Compounds and Volatile Hazardous Air
Pollutants from Wood Products
Manufacturing Operations;’’ No. 36,
‘‘Control of Emission from Organic
Solvent Cleaning;’’ and General
Definitions. The amended APCRs
became effective in Rhode Island on
January 9, 2017.
EPA has previously approved these
Rhode Island APCRs into the Rhode
Island SIP. APCR No. 8, ‘‘Sulfur Content
of Fuels,’’ was last approved on October
7, 2015 (80 FR 60541), APCR No. 19,
‘‘Control of Volatile Organic
Compounds from Surface Coating
Operations,’’ on July 22, 2016 (81 FR
47708), APCR No. 27, ‘‘Control of
Nitrogen Oxide Emissions,’’ and APCR
No. 35. ‘‘Control of Volatile Organic
Compounds and Volatile Hazardous Air
Pollutants from Wood Products
Manufacturing Operations,’’ on July 22,
2016 (81 FR 47708), APCR No. 36,
‘‘Control of Emission from Organic
Solvent Cleaning,’’ on March 13, 2012
(77 FR 14691), and APCR General
Definitions on March 13, 2012 (77 FR
14691).
II. EPA’s Evaluation of the Submittal
Rhode Island’s submittal states that RI
DEM has revised APCR No. 8, ‘‘Sulfur
Content of Fuels,’’ to correct a mistake
made when it revised the regulation in
2014. The purpose of the 2014 revision
was to limit the sulfur content of certain
fuel oils, which the regulation divided

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve elements of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) submission from
the State of Missouri for the 2012 Annual Fine Particulate Matter
(PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS).
States are required to have a SIP that provides for the implementation,
maintenance, and enforcement of the NAAQS. Whenever EPA promulgates a
new or revised NAAQS, states are required to make a SIP submission to
establish that they have, or to add, the provisions necessary to
address various requirements to address the new or revised NAAQS. These
SIPs are commonly referred to as ``infrastructure'' SIPs. The
infrastructure requirements are designed to ensure that the structural
components of each state's air quality management program are adequate
to meet the state's responsibilities under the CAA. In this action EPA
is proposing to approve the interstate transportion obligations of the
State's 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS infrastructure SIP submittal.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 5, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2018-0261, to 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 you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' refer to EPA. This section provides additional information by
addressing the following:
I. What is being addressed in this document?
II. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP submission been met?
III. What action is EPA taking?
IV. Incorporation by Reference
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What is being addressed in this document?
EPA is proposing to approve the submittal as meeting the submittal
requirement of section 110(a)(1). EPA is proposing to approve certain
elements of the infrastructure SIP submission from the State of
Missouri received on October 14, 2015. Specifically, EPA is proposing
to approve the following elements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)--
significant contribution to nonattainment (prong 1), and interfering
with maintenance of the NAAQs (prong 2). EPA has already addressed
elements of 110(a)(2) including: (A) Through (C), (D)(i)(II)--
prevention of significant
[[Page 25980]]
deterioration of air quality (prong 3), (D)(ii), and (E) through (M) in
separate rulemaking (see docket EPA-R07-OAR-2017-0513). EPA intends to
act on section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II)--protection of visibility (prong 4)
in a subsequent rulemaking.
A Technical Support Document (TSD) is included as part of this
docket to discuss the details of this action, including analysis of how
the SIP meets the applicable 110 requirements for infrastructure SIPs.
II. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP submission been met?
The state's submission has met the public notice requirements for
SIP submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The state held a
public comment period from July 27, 2015, to September 3, 2015. The
state received no comments during the public comment period. A public
hearing was held on August 27, 2015. The submission satisfied the
completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 51, appendix V. As explained in
more detail in the TSD, which is part of this docket, the submittal
meets the substantive SIP requirements of the CAA, including section
110 and implementing regulations.
III. What action is EPA taking?
EPA is proposing to approve the following elements of October 14,
2015, infrastructure SIP submission from the State of Missouri: Section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)--significant contribution to nonattainment (prong
1), and interfering with maintenance of the NAAQs (prong 2) as
applicable to the 2012 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this action, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference the Missouri Regulations described in the amendments to 40
CFR part 52 set forth below. EPA has made, and will continue to make,
these materials generally available through https://www.regulations.gov
and at the EPA Region 7 Office (please contact the person identified in
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more
information).
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866.
Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
Is not subject to requirements of the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTA) because this rulemaking does not
involve technical standards; and
Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
