Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to partially withdraw two final actions finding that 13 States and/or local air pollution control agencies failed to submit State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions required by the Clean Air Act (CAA) in a timely manner to address the EPA's 2015 findings of substantial inadequacy and "SIP calls" for provisions applying to excess emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM). This proposed action would render no longer applicable certain CAA deadlines for the EPA to impose sanctions if a State does not submit a complete SIP revision addressing the outstanding requirements, and to promulgate a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP). Concurrently, the EPA is also taking direct final action on this withdrawal. See the direct final action published in the Rules and Regulations section of this issue of the Federal Register. If we receive no significant adverse comment on this proposed action, we will not take further action on this proposed action.
