Air Plan Revisions; Arizona; Maricopa County Air Quality Department
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a limited approval and limited disapproval of revisions to the Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD or "County") portion of the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from loading of organic liquids and gasoline. We are proposing action on local rules to regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA or "Act"). We are also proposing to disapprove the MCAQD's reasonably available control technology (RACT) demonstration for the source categories associated with these rules for the 2008 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) in the Phoenix-Mesa ozone nonattainment area. We are taking comments on this proposal and plan to follow with a final action.

Inflation Adjustment References for Civil Monetary Penalty Amounts in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct final action to address outdated maximum and minimum statutory civil monetary penalty amounts by adding language that refers readers to the up-to-date maximum and minimum statutory civil monetary penalty amounts. The Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended through the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 requires the EPA to annually issue rules that adjust the statutory maximum and minimum civil penalty amounts under the various environmental laws implemented by the EPA to account for inflation. The EPA makes inflation adjustments for each of the outdated penalty amounts in a separate rule. This rule adds language notifying the reader that the penalty amount listed may not be accurate and refers the reader to the EPA's regulation to find the correct amounts.
