Further, since this rule ensures that
regulations issued by one USDA Agency
are cited accurately in those issued by
another USDA Agency, APHIS
considers it to relate to internal agency
management with USDA, and it is,
accordingly, exempt from the provisions
of Executive Orders 12866 and 12988.
Finally, this action is not a rule as
defined by the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 501) and, thus, it is
exempt from the provisions of that Act.

Air Plan Approval; Illinois; Alton
Township 2010 SO2 Attainment Plan
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving the State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
which Illinois submitted to EPA on
December 31, 2018, for attaining the 1hour sulfur dioxide (SO2) primary
national ambient air quality standard
(NAAQS) for the Alton Township
nonattainment area in Madison County.
This plan (herein called a
‘‘nonattainment plan’’) includes Illinois’
attainment demonstration and other
elements required under the Clean Air
Act (CAA), including the requirement
for meeting reasonable further progress
(RFP) toward attainment of the NAAQS,
reasonably available control measures
and reasonably available control
technology (RACM/RACT), base-year
and projection-year emission
inventories, enforceable emission
limitations and control measures,
nonattainment new source review
(NNSR), and contingency measures.
EPA is approving Illinois’ submission as
a SIP revision for attaining the 2010 1hour primary SO2 NAAQS in the Alton
township nonattainment area, finding
that Illinois has adequately
demonstrated that the plan provisions
provide for attainment of the NAAQS in
the nonattainment area and that the
plan meets the other applicable
requirements under the CAA. EPA
proposed to approve this action on
December 30, 2022, and received no
comments.
SUMMARY:
This final rule is effective on
March 23, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document whenever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
EPA.
I. Background Information
Following the promulgation in 2010
of a 1-hour primary SO2 NAAQS, on
June 30, 2016, EPA designated the Alton
Township area within the State of
Illinois as nonattainment for this
NAAQS, in conjunction with
designating multiple areas in other
states as nonattainment as part of the
Agency’s Round 2 designations. On
December 31, 2018, Illinois submitted a
nonattainment plan for the Alton
Township area to attain the 1-hour SO2
primary NAAQS. EPA published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
approving Illinois’ attainment plan on
December 30, 2022 (87 FR 80509).
The dispersion modeling results
submitted by Illinois, and supplemented
by EPA, show design values that are less
than the standard of 75 parts per billion
(ppb), specifically 74.9 ppb for the
Alton Township area. EPA proposed
that these areas demonstrate attainment
of the 2010 SO2 standard and meet the
applicable requirements of CAA
sections 110, 172, 191, and 192,
including emission inventories, RACT/
RACM, RFP, and contingency measures,
and that Illinois has previously
addressed requirements regarding
NNSR. An explanation of the CAA
requirements, a detailed analysis of the
nonattainment plan for the Alton
Township area, and EPA’s reasons for
proposing approval were provided in
the NPRM and will not be restated here.
II. Public Comments
The public comment period for this
proposed rule ended on January 30,
2023. EPA received no comments on its
NPRM.

III. Final Action
EPA is approving Illinois’ attainment
plan as submitted to EPA on December
31, 2018, as a revision to Illinois’ SIP,
for attaining the 2010 SO2 NAAQS for
the Alton Township area. As part of this
action, EPA is incorporating Illinois’
Permit to Construct Number #18020009,
applicable to Alton Steel, by reference
into the SIP. The permit requires that
Alton Steel operates a new ladle
metallurgy facility (LMF) stack to
replace the four downward facing vents
on the individual compartments on the
LMF stack. The attainment plan
includes Illinois’ attainment
demonstrations for the Alton
nonattainment area using dispersion
modeling, and supplemented by EPA’s
modeling, to demonstrate that the
emission limits required by the Illinois
SIP, and submitted for EPA approval,
provide for modeled concentrations
meeting the SO2 NAAQS.
The attainment plan also satisfies
requirements for emission inventories,
RACT/RACM, RFP, and contingency
measures. Illinois has previously
addressed NNSR requirements for this
area. For these reasons, EPA has
determined that Illinois’ SO2 attainment
plan meets the applicable requirements
of CAA sections 110, 172, 191, and 192.

IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, EPA is finalizing
regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation
by reference of the Illinois construction
permit for Alton Steel, Inc., issued
March 5, 2018, as described in section
III. Of this preamble and set forth in the
amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. EPA has made, and will continue
to make, these documents generally
available through www.regulations.gov,
and at the EPA Region 5 Office (please
contact the person identified in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this preamble for more information).
Therefore, these materials have been
approved by EPA for inclusion in the
SIP, have been incorporated by
reference by EPA into that plan, are
fully federally enforceable under
sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of
the effective date of the final rulemaking
of EPA’s approval, and will be
incorporated by reference in the next
update to the SIP compilation.1
V. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
1 62
that complies with the provisions of the
CAA 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);
• 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
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; 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).
In addition, 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).
This action is subject to the
Congressional Review Act, and EPA will
submit a rule report to each House of
the Congress and to the Comptroller
General of the United States. This action
is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by April 24, 2023. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this action for the
purposes of judicial review nor does it
extend the time within which a petition
for judicial review may be filed, and
shall not postpone the effectiveness of
such rule or action. This action may not
be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2) of the CAA.)

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving the
State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision which Illinois submitted to
EPA on December 31, 2018, for attaining the 1-hour sulfur dioxide
(SO2) primary national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS)
for the Alton Township nonattainment area in Madison County. This plan
(herein called a ``nonattainment plan'') includes Illinois' attainment
demonstration and other elements required under the Clean Air Act
(CAA), including the requirement for meeting reasonable further
progress (RFP) toward attainment of the NAAQS, reasonably available
control measures and reasonably available control technology (RACM/
RACT), base-year and projection-year emission inventories, enforceable
emission limitations and control measures, nonattainment new source
review (NNSR), and contingency measures. EPA is approving Illinois'
submission as a SIP revision for attaining the 2010 1-hour primary
SO2 NAAQS in the Alton township nonattainment area, finding
that Illinois has adequately demonstrated that the plan provisions
provide for attainment of the NAAQS in the nonattainment area and that
the plan meets the other applicable requirements under the CAA. EPA
proposed to approve this action on December 30, 2022, and received no
comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''

I. Background Information
Following the promulgation in 2010 of a 1-hour primary
SO2 NAAQS, on June 30, 2016, EPA designated the Alton
Township area within the State of Illinois as nonattainment for this
NAAQS, in conjunction with designating multiple areas in other states
as nonattainment as part of the Agency's Round 2 designations. On
December 31, 2018, Illinois submitted a nonattainment plan for the
Alton Township area to attain the 1-hour SO2 primary NAAQS.
EPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) approving
Illinois' attainment plan on December 30, 2022 (87 FR 80509).
The dispersion modeling results submitted by Illinois, and
supplemented by EPA, show design values that are less than the standard
of 75 parts per billion (ppb), specifically 74.9 ppb for the Alton
Township area. EPA proposed that these areas demonstrate attainment of
the 2010 SO2 standard and meet the applicable requirements
of CAA sections 110, 172, 191, and 192, including emission inventories,
RACT/RACM, RFP, and contingency measures, and that Illinois has
previously addressed requirements regarding NNSR. An explanation of the
CAA requirements, a detailed analysis of the nonattainment plan for the
Alton Township area, and EPA's reasons for proposing approval were
provided in the NPRM and will not be restated here.
II. Public Comments
The public comment period for this proposed rule ended on January
30, 2023. EPA received no comments on its NPRM.
[[Page 10465]]
III. Final Action
EPA is approving Illinois' attainment plan as submitted to EPA on
December 31, 2018, as a revision to Illinois' SIP, for attaining the
2010 SO2 NAAQS for the Alton Township area. As part of this
action, EPA is incorporating Illinois' Permit to Construct Number
#18020009, applicable to Alton Steel, by reference into the SIP. The
permit requires that Alton Steel operates a new ladle metallurgy
facility (LMF) stack to replace the four downward facing vents on the
individual compartments on the LMF stack. The attainment plan includes
Illinois' attainment demonstrations for the Alton nonattainment area
using dispersion modeling, and supplemented by EPA's modeling, to
demonstrate that the emission limits required by the Illinois SIP, and
submitted for EPA approval, provide for modeled concentrations meeting
the SO2 NAAQS.
The attainment plan also satisfies requirements for emission
inventories, RACT/RACM, RFP, and contingency measures. Illinois has
previously addressed NNSR requirements for this area. For these
reasons, EPA has determined that Illinois' SO2 attainment
plan meets the applicable requirements of CAA sections 110, 172, 191,
and 192.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the Illinois
construction permit for Alton Steel, Inc., issued March 5, 2018, as
described in section III. Of this preamble and set forth in the
amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these documents generally available through
www.regulations.gov, and at the EPA Region 5 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this preamble for more information). Therefore, these materials have
been approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP, have been incorporated
by reference by EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable
under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the
final rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by
reference in the next update to the SIP compilation.\1\

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 CAA 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);

rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by April 24, 2023. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2) of the CAA.)
