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
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to redesignate the Indiana portion of the Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-IN-KY, nonattainment area (hereafter, ``the Cincinnati-Hamilton 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 Cincinnati-Hamilton area includes Lawrenceburg Township within Dearborn County. EPA is taking this action because it has determined that the Cincinnati-Hamilton area is attaining the annual PM2.5 standard. EPA is also proposing several additional related actions. First, EPA is proposing to approve the state's plan for maintaining the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS through 2027. In addition, EPA is proposing to approve Indiana's updated emission inventory, which includes emission inventories for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and ammonia. Indiana's maintenance plan submission also includes a budget for the mobile source contribution of PM2.5 and nitrogen oxides (NOX) to the Cincinnati-Hamilton PM2.5 area for transportation conformity purposes, which EPA is proposing to approve and update. EPA is proposing to take these actions in accordance with the Clean Air Act (CAA) and EPA's State implementation plan (SIP) rules regarding the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS.

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Nevada; Rescission of Visibility Protection Federal Implementation Plan for the Mohave Generating Station
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to rescind the visibility protection federal implementation plan (FIP) that we promulgated on February 8, 2002, to regulate air pollutant emissions from the Mohave Generating Station (MGS), located in Clark County, Nevada. The EPA is proposing this action in response to the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection's (NDEP) request dated March 25, 2016. The request seeks rescission of the FIP because MGS had been decommissioned and demolished, as demonstrated by the supporting documentation provided by the NDEP.
Air Plan Approval; Delaware; Infrastructure Requirements for the 2012 Fine Particulate Matter Standard; Extension of Comment Period; Availability of Data
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is extending the comment period for a proposed rule published on June 1, 2017. In the June 1, 2017 proposed rule, EPA proposed to approve portions of the State of Delaware's December 14, 2015 state implementation plan (SIP) submittal to address the infrastructure requirements for the 2012 fine particulate matter (PM2.5) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). EPA is extending the comment period due to erroneously omitting the technical support document (TSD) in the docket. This proposed rule corrects this omission and provides notice of the availability of the TSD which supports EPA's analysis. All comments received on or before July 24, 2017 will be entered into the public record and considered by EPA before taking final action on the proposed rule. Comments submitted between the close of the original comment period and the re-opening of this comment period will be accepted and considered.
