ACTION: Proposed rule. jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with PROPOSALS AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is proposing to approve revisions to the Jefferson County portion of the Kentucky State Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:59 Jul 19, 2019 Jkt 247001 through the Energy and Environment Cabinet (Cabinet), through a letter dated March 15, 2018. The revisions were submitted by the Cabinet on behalf of the Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District (District, also referred to herein as Jefferson County). The SIP revision includes changes to Jefferson County Regulations regarding existing indirect heat exchangers. DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 21, 2019.

Mr. Akers can be reached via electronic mail at akers.brad@epa.gov or via telephone at (404) 562–9089. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: the portions of this SIP revision that make changes to the District’s Regulation 6.07, Standards of Performance for Existing Indirect Heat Exchangers.3 The March 15, 2018, SIP revision makes minor and ministerial changes to Regulation 6.07 that do not alter the meaning of the regulation or the emissions levels for sources regulated under the Jefferson County Regulations, such as clarifying changes to its applicability. In addition, the changes strengthen the SIP by adding specific test methods and procedures applicable to existing indirect heat exchangers. The SIP revision updates the current SIP-approved version of Regulation 6.07 (version 3) to version 4. The changes to this rule and EPA’s rationale for proposing approval are described in more detail in Section II. II. EPA’s Analysis of the State Submittal As mentioned in Section I of this proposed action, the portion of Jefferson County’s March 15, 2018, SIP revision that EPA is proposing to approve makes changes to Jefferson County Air Quality Regulations at Regulation 6.07, Standards of Performance for Existing Indirect Heat Exchangers. The changes to Section 1, Applicability, and Section 2, Definitions, are intended to provide consistency with other Jefferson County Air Quality Regulations by defining the affected facility within the Definitions section and relying on that definition in the Applicability section. Specifically, Section 1 of the current SIP-approved version of Regulation 6.07 (version 3) provides that this regulation apply to indirect heat exchangers at or above 1 million British thermal units per hour (MMBtu/hr) that ‘‘was in being or under construction before April 19, 1972.’’ The amendments included in the March 15, 2018, SIP revision simplify Section 1, Applicability, to refer to affected facilities ‘‘in being or commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction on or before the applicable classification date defined [in Section 2].’’ I. What action is EPA proposing? EPA is proposing to approve changes to the Jefferson County portion of the Kentucky SIP that were provided to EPA through KDAQ via a letter dated March 15, 2018.1 2 EPA is proposing to approve 1 EPA notes that the Agency received the SIP revision on March 23, 2018. 2 In 2003, the City of Louisville and Jefferson County governments merged and the ‘‘Jefferson County Air Pollution Control District’’ was renamed the ‘‘Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District.’’ See The History of Air Pollution Control in Louisville, available at https://louisvilleky.gov/ PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 government/air-pollution-control-district/historyair-pollution-control-louisville. However, each of the regulations in the Jefferson County portion of the Kentucky SIP still has the subheading ‘‘Air Pollution Control District of Jefferson County.’’ Thus, to be consistent with the terminology used in the SIP, we refer throughout this notice to regulations contained in the Jefferson County portion of the Kentucky SIP as the ‘‘Jefferson County’’ regulations. 3 EPA notes that the Agency received several submittals revising the Jefferson County portion of the Kentucky SIP transmitted with the same March 15, 2018, cover letter. EPA will be considering action for these other SIP revisions in separate rulemakings. E:\FR\FM\22JYP1.SGM 22JYP1
