Approval of State Plans for Designated Facilities and Pollutants; MO; Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Control of Emissions From Existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfills
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a Clean Air Act (CAA) plan and two state rules submitted by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MoDNR) on July 25, 2022. This plan was submitted to fulfill the state's obligations under the CAA to implement and enforce the requirements of the Emissions Guidelines and Compliance Times for municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. This plan includes an inventory of affected sources and explains how the state rules fulfill the regulatory requirements needed for EPA to approve the plan.
Denial of Request for Attainment Date Extension, Finding of Failure To Attain, and Reclassification of an Area in Utah as Moderate for the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is denying a request by the State of Utah and the Ute Indian Tribe for an extension of the attainment date for the Uinta Basin, Utah Marginal nonattainment area under the 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). In addition, we are determining that the area did not attain the standard by the applicable attainment date, and accordingly that the area will be reclassified by operation of law to "Moderate" nonattainment for the 2015 ozone NAAQS on the effective date of this final rule. With respect to the Uinta Basin area, this action fulfills the EPA's obligation under the Clean Air Act (CAA) to determine whether ozone nonattainment areas attained the NAAQS by the Marginal area attainment date and to publish a document in the Federal Register identifying each area that is determined as having failed to attain and identifying the reclassification.

Finding of Failure To Attain by the Attainment Date for the 2010 1-Hour Primary Sulfur Dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standard; Louisiana; Evangeline Parish Nonattainment Area
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making a determination that the Evangeline Parish, Louisiana, sulfur dioxide (SO2) nonattainment area (NAA) failed to attain the 2010 1- hour primary SO2 national ambient air quality standard (2010 SO2 NAAQS) under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) by the applicable statutory attainment date of April 9, 2023. This determination is based upon consideration and review of all relevant and available information for the NAA, including reported emissions records and available modeling data for the area's primary SO2 source, Cabot Corporation's Ville Platte Plant (Cabot).
Determination of Attainment by the Attainment Date for the 2010 1-Hour Primary Sulfur Dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standard; Texas; Freestone-Anderson and Titus Counties
Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing our determination that the sulfur dioxide (SO2) nonattainment area (NAA) in Freestone and Anderson Counties and the SO2 NAA in Titus County have each attained the 2010 1-hour primary SO2 national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) by the applicable attainment date of January 12, 2022. This determination is based on primary source shutdowns, available ambient air quality monitoring data from the 2019-2021 monitoring period, relevant modeling analysis, and additional emissions inventory information. This final action will address the EPA's obligation under CAA section 179(c) to determine whether the Freestone-Anderson and Titus SO2 NAAs attained the 2010 1-hour primary SO2 NAAQS by the statutory attainment date of January 12, 2022, for each area.
Reconsideration of the Dust-Lead Hazard Standards and Dust-Lead Post-Abatement Clearance Levels; Correction
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making corrections to a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of November 12, 2024, that finalized several revisions to EPA's lead-based paint (LBP) regulations. Subsequent to publication, the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) informed the Agency that there were errors in the amendatory instructions that describe specific revisions for two sections of the regulation. The corrections to the amendatory instructions will allow for the proper revisions to be incorporated into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
Air Quality Plans; Arizona; Maricopa County Air Quality Department; Source-Specific SIP Revision
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action on a source-specific revision to the Maricopa County Air Quality Department's (MCAQD or "Department") portion of the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision consists of certain permit conditions related to emissions offsets generated from the replacement of existing diesel-fueled solid waste collection trucks promulgated by the MCAQD and submitted by the State of Arizona for inclusion in the Maricopa County portion of the Arizona SIP under the Clean Air Act (CAA or "Act"). The permit conditions were submitted for SIP approval to ensure that they are federally enforceable, which is the basis for qualifying certain emissions reductions as creditable offsets under the CAA.
