National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines and New Source Performance Standards: Internal Combustion Engines; Electronic Reporting
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to amend the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE), the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Stationary Compression Ignition (CI) Internal Combustion Engines, and the NSPS for Stationary Spark Ignition (SI) Internal Combustion Engines, to add electronic reporting provisions. The addition of electronic reporting provisions will provide for simplified reporting by sources and enhance availability of data on sources to the EPA and the public. In addition, a small number of clarifications and corrections to these rules are being proposed to correct inadvertent and other minor errors in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), particularly related to tables. Finally, information is being solicited on the provisions specifying that emergency engines can operate for up to 50 hours per year to mitigate local transmission and/ or distribution limitations to avert potential voltage collapse or line overloads that could lead to the interruption of power supply in a local area or region.

In accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (``CERCLA''), notice is hereby given by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA''), Region 2, of a proposed cost recovery settlement agreement (``Settlement'') pursuant to CERCLA with Ljubow Melnitschenko (``Settling Party'') for the Marko Engraving & Art Corp.

Air Plan Approval; Indiana; ArcelorMittal and NIPSCO Sulfur Dioxide Revisions
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the sulfur dioxide (SO2) portion of the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP). The state of Indiana is requesting revisions to emission limits at the Northern Indiana Public Service Company Bailly Station (NIPSCO) facility reflecting permanently shut down units. Indiana is also requesting SIP revisions for two facilities formerly owned by ArcelorMittal USA LLC and currently owned by Cleveland-Cliffs LLC (Indiana Harbor East and Indiana Harbor West). The Indiana Harbor East facility is required to demonstrate continuous compliance with final SO2 emission limits as a daily (24- hour) average. These revisions will result in decreases in allowable SO2 emissions at all three facilities, maintaining SO2 attainment/unclassifiable designations for the 2010 1- hour SO2 national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).
Air Plan Approval; TN; 2010 1-Hour SO2 NAAQS Transport Infrastructure
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve Tennessee's July 31, 2019, State Implementation Plan (SIP) submission pertaining to the ``good neighbor'' provision of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) for the 2010 1-hour sulfur dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The good neighbor provision requires each State's implementation plan to contain adequate provisions prohibiting the interstate transport of air pollution in amounts that will contribute significantly to nonattainment, or interfere with maintenance, of a NAAQS in any other State. In this action, EPA is proposing to determine that Tennessee will not contribute significantly to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS in any other State. Therefore, EPA is proposing to approve the July 31, 2019, SIP revision as meeting the requirements of the good neighbor provision for the 2010 1-hour SO2 NAAQS.
Air Plan Approval; Montana; Revisions to Regional Haze State Implementation Plan and Partial Withdrawals to Regional Haze Federal Implementation Plan
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Montana on March 25, 2020, addressing regional haze. Specifically, EPA is approving a SIP revision for the first implementation period of the Clean Air Act's (CAA) regional haze program that addresses the nitrogen oxides (NOX) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) requirements for two electric generating unit (EGU) facilities, as well as replaces portions of the Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) promulgated by EPA in 2012 (2012 regional haze FIP) addressing the NOX, SO2, and particulate matter (PM) BART requirements for two cement kilns and the PM BART requirements for the same two EGU facilities. Consistent with our approval of Montana's regional haze SIP revision, EPA is withdrawing, the portions of the FIP promulgated by EPA in the 2012 regional haze FIP addressing the NOX, SO2, and PM BART requirements for the two cement kilns and the PM BART requirements for the two EGU facilities. This action also addresses the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit's June 9, 2015 vacatur and remand of portions of the FIP. EPA is finalizing this action pursuant to the CAA.

The EPA is extending the comment period on this proposed rule that currently closes on June 26, 2023, by 11 days. The comment period will now remain open until July 7, 2023, to allow additional time for stakeholders to review and comment on the proposal.
