The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve rules submitted by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) as a revision to its State Implementation Plan (SIP). The submitted rules incorporate the 2015 primary and secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone. In addition, WDNR included several updates to ensure implementation of the ozone NAAQS, in areas currently or formerly designated as nonattainment for any ozone standard, in a manner consistent with Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements.
Proposed CERCLA Section 122 Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent; Joan D. Pecina/Trust 2000, Bautsch Gray Mine Superfund Site, Jo Daviess County, Illinois
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hereby gives notice of a proposed Ability to Pay Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (Settlement) pertaining to an approximately 28-acre portion of the Bautsch Gray Mine Superfund Site (Site), on Blackjack Road, in Jo Daviess County, Illinois. EPA invites public comment on the Settlement for thirty (30) days following publication of this notice. The Settlement reflects Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) Joan D. Pecina/Trust 2000's inability to pay a cash dollar amount and requires that the PRP comply with specified property requirements in the Settlement and through an associated Environmental Covenant. The PRP has evidenced proof of an (In)Ability to Pay (ATP) any portion of CERCLA response costs related to the Site. Satisfying the property requirements safeguards for human health and the environment by reducing the risk of exposure to certain hazardous wastes and substances.
Air Plan Approval; Indiana, Michigan and Minnesota; Revised Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction Provisions
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving three State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision requests, submitted by Indiana, Michigan, and Minnesota. All three States submitted the SIP revision requests in 2016 in response to a finding of substantial inadequacy and a SIP call published on June 12, 2015, for specific provisions in each State's SIP related to excess emissions during startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) events. EPA is determining that each submission corrects the State's respective SIP deficiencies as identified in the June 12, 2015, SIP call. EPA proposed to approve this action on May 5, 2022, and received no adverse comments.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a Clean Air Act (CAA) section 111(d) state plan submitted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) on December 22, 2020, and supplemented on May 16, 2022. This state plan was submitted to fulfill the requirements of the CAA and is responsive to the EPA's promulgation of Emissions Guidelines (EG) and Compliance Times for municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. The Florida state plan establishes performance standards and other operating requirements for existing MSW landfills and provides for the implementation and enforcement of those standards and requirements.

This action addresses revisions to the Oklahoma SIP pertaining to the general SIP definitions under Oklahoma Administrative Code (OAC) Title 252, Chapter 100, Subchapter 1, Section 1-3, and revisions to the Oklahoma SIP to update the incorporation by reference of Federal requirements under OAC Title 252, Chapter 100, Subchapter 2, and Appendix Q.
Air Plan Partial Disapproval; Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; Reasonably Available Control Technology Regulations for the 1997 and 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to disapprove a specific part of a state implementation plan (SIP) revision that was previously approved by EPA. On May 19, 2019, EPA fully approved certain parts of a SIP revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to address reasonably available control technology (RACT) for the 1997 and 2008 ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), and conditionally approved other parts of that submission. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit vacated EPA's approval of a portion of the SIP revision, as discussed below. EPA is now disapproving the portion of the SIP submission addressed by the court's decision. This action is being taken under the Clean Air Act (CAA).
Air Plan Approval; Missouri; Construction Permit Exemptions
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to approve revisions to the Missouri State Implementation Plan (SIP) received on June 10, 2021. The submission revises Missouri's regulation on construction permit exemptions. These revisions update incorporations by reference, remove unnecessary words, and make minor clarifications and grammatical changes. These revisions do not impact the stringency of the SIP or have an adverse effect on air quality. The EPA's approval of this rule revision is being done in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
Air Plan Approval; Missouri; General Conformity Rescission
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to approve a revision to the Missouri State Implementation Plan (SIP). This final action will rescind the Missouri General Conformity Rule from the Missouri SIP. General Conformity ensures federal agency actions, such as airport construction, do not interfere with a state's plans to attain and maintain national standards for air quality. After rescission of the state's General Conformity Rule, federal agency actions will be subject to the Federal General Conformity Rule.
