| 2011-24384 | Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas; Infrastructure and Interstate Transport Requirements for the 1997 Ozone and the 1997 and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS | Proposed Rule | EPA is proposing to partially approve and partially disapprove submittals from the state of Texas pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) that address the infrastructure elements specified in the CAA section 110(a)(2), necessary to implement, maintain, and enforce the 1997 8-hour ozone and 1997 and 2006 fine particulate matter (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or standards). We are proposing to find that the current Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP) meets the infrastructure requirements for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS and the 1997 and 2006 PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS at 110(a)(2)(A), (B), (E), (F), (G), (H), (K), (L), (M), and portions of (C), (D)(ii) and (J). We are proposing to find that the current Texas SIP does not meet the infrastructure requirements for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS and the 1997 and 2006 PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS at 110(a)(2) for portions of (C), (D)(ii) and (J) because Texas has stated it cannot issue permits for and does not intend to regulate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. (See letter from Bryan W. Shaw and Greg Abbott to Lisa Jackson and Al Armendariz, dated August 2, 2010, in the docket for this rulemaking). EPA is also proposing to partially approve and partially disapprove SIP revisions submitted by the state of Texas for the purpose of addressing the "good neighbor" provisions of CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS and the 1997 and 2006 PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS. These SIP revisions address the requirement that the Texas SIP have adequate provisions to prohibit air emissions from adversely affecting another state's air quality through interstate transport. In this action, EPA is proposing to partially approve and partially disapprove the provisions of these SIP submissions that emissions from sources in Texas do not interfere with measures required in the SIP of any other state under part C of the CAA to prevent significant deterioration of air quality, with regard to the 1997 8- hour ozone NAAQS and the 1997 and 2006 PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS. The partial disapproval is again because Texas cannot issue permits for emissions of GHG. For purposes of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS, EPA is also proposing to approve SIP revisions that modify the Texas SIP for Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) to include nitrogen oxides (NO<INF>x</INF>) as an ozone precursor. This action is being taken under section 110 and part C of the Act. | 2011-09-22 | 2011 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2011/09/22/2011-24384/approval-and-promulgation-of-implementation-plans-texas-infrastructure-and-interstate-transport | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2011-09-22/pdf/2011-24384.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is proposing to partially approve and partially disapprove submittals from the state of Texas pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) that address the infrastructure elements specified in the CAA section 110(a)(2), necessary to implement,... |
