Air Plan Partial Approval and Partial Disapproval; Wyoming; Regional Haze Plan for the Second Implementation Period
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to partially approve and partially disapprove the regional haze state implementation plan (SIP) submission submitted by the State of Wyoming on August 10, 2022 (Wyoming's 2022 SIP submission) under the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the EPA's Regional Haze Rule (RHR) for the program's second implementation period. Wyoming's 2022 SIP submission addresses the requirement that states revise their long-term strategies every implementation period to make reasonable progress towards the national goal of preventing any future, and remedying any existing, anthropogenic impairment of visibility, including regional haze, in mandatory Class I Federal areas. Wyoming's 2022 SIP submission also addresses other applicable requirements for the second implementation period of the regional haze program. The EPA is taking this action pursuant to the CAA.
Disapproval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plan; Nebraska; Regional Haze State Implementation Plan; Federal Implementation Plan for Regional Haze; Completion of Remand
Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA or Act), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing this action to address the voluntary remand of a portion of a final rulemaking published in the Federal Register on July 6, 2012, addressing regional haze obligations for the first planning period in Nebraska. Specifically, we are revisiting and implementing a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) applicable to the Gerald Gentleman Station, owned and operated by the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD). In this action, the EPA is proposing a revised FIP that will limit sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions at the Gerald Gentleman Station. The EPA proposes to determine that SO2 emission reductions are needed to make reasonable progress toward Congress' natural-visibility goal at Class I areas affected by visibility- impairing emissions from Nebraska. This proposal addresses only the remanded portion of the Nebraska FIP.
National Environmental Justice Advisory Council; Notice of Charter Renewal
Notice is hereby given that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that, in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), the National Environmental Justice Advisory Council (NEJAC) is necessary and in the public interest in connection with the performance of duties imposed on the agency by law. Accordingly, NEJAC will be renewed for an additional two-year period. The purpose of the NEJAC is to provide advice and recommendations to the Administrator about issues associated with integrating environmental justice concerns into EPA's outreach activities, public policies, science, regulatory, enforcement, and compliance decisions.

Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review: Correction
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking interim final action on technical corrections to three regulations recently finalized within "Standards of Performance for New, Reconstructed, and Modified Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review," (hereafter "final rule"), published March 8, 2024. Following publication of the final rule, the EPA identified, through its own internal reassessment of the regulatory text, as well as through communications with stakeholders and the Office of Federal Register, erroneous cross-references and typographical errors within the regulatory text. Through those same processes, the EPA also identified the need for some minor wording changes to clarify erroneous language (or, in some cases, erroneous omissions) in the regulatory text and/or to ensure that the regulatory text aligns with the descriptions of the relevant provisions in the final rule preamble and other parts of the regulation(s). The corrections being made in this action are minor and non-substantive in nature and are being made to address inadvertent errors in the final rule. The EPA is requesting comments on all aspects of this interim final rule.
