ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving elements of State Implementation Plan (SIP) submissions from Connecticut regarding the infrastructure requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) for the 2008 lead, 2008 ozone, 2010 nitrogen dioxide, and 2010 sulfur dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). EPA is also converting conditional approvals for several infrastructure requirements for the 1997 ozone NAAQS and for the 1997 and 2006 fine particle (PM2.5 ) NAAQS to full approval under the CAA. Furthermore, we are conditionally approving elements of Connecticut's infrastructure requirements of the CAA regarding prevention of significant deterioration requirements to treat nitrogen oxides as a precursor to ozone and to establish a minor source baseline date for PM2.5 emissions. Lastly, EPA is approving three statutes submitted by Connecticut in support of its demonstration that the infrastructure requirements of the CAA have been met. The infrastructure requirements are designed to ensure that the structural components of each state's air quality management program are adequate to meet the state's responsibilities under the CAA. DATES: This rule is effective on July 5, 2016. ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket Identification No. EPA-R01-OAR-2015-0198.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,'' ``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA. Organization of this document. The following outline is provided to aid in locating information in this preamble. I. Background and Purpose II. Final Action III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews I. Background and Purpose This rulemaking addresses submissions from the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP). The state submitted its infrastructure SIP for each NAAQS on the following dates: 2008 Pb--October 13, 2011; 2008 ozone--December 28, 2012; 2010 NO2 --January 2, 2013; and 2010 SO2 --May 30, 2013. This rulemaking also addresses certain infrastructure SIP elements for the 1997 and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS for which EPA previously issued a conditional approval. See 77 FR 63228 (October 16, 2012). The state submitted these infrastructure SIPs on September 4, 2008, and September 18, 2009, respectively. Lastly, this rulemaking addresses one infrastructure SIP element for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS for which EPA previously issued a conditional approval. See 76 FR 40248 (July 8, 2011). The state submitted this infrastructure SIP on December 28, 2007. EPA did not receive any comments, adverse or otherwise, in response to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR). See 80 FR 54471 (September 10, 2015). II. Final Action EPA is approving SIP submissions from Connecticut certifying that the state's current SIP is sufficient to meet the required infrastructure elements under sections 110(a)(1) and 110(a)(2) for the 2008 Pb, 2008 ozone, 2010 NO2 , and 2010 SO2 NAAQS, with the exception of certain aspects relating to PSD which we are conditionally approving. A summary of EPA's actions regarding these infrastructure SIP requirements is contained in Table 1 below.

See 77 FR 63228, October 16, 2012. Also with respect to the 1997 and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS, EPA is newly conditionally approving Connecticut's submittals pertaining to Elements 110(a)(2)C(ii), D(i)(II), and J(iii) for the requirements to treat NOX as a precursor to ozone and to establish a minor source baseline date for PM2.5 in the PSD program. With respect to the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS, EPA is approving Connecticut's infrastructure SIP submittal requirements pertaining to Element 110(a)(2)(D)(ii) (interstate pollution abatement) for which a conditional approval was previously issued. See 77 FR 63228, October 16, 2012. In addition, we are incorporating into the Connecticut SIP the following Connecticut statutes which were included for approval in Connecticut's infrastructure SIP submittals: Connecticut General Statutes (CGS) Section 1-85 (Formerly Sec. 1-68) ``Interest in conflict with discharge of duties,'' as published in the General Statutes of Connecticut revised to January 1, 2015; amended in Public Act 89-97 in January 1989, effective October 1, 1989; CGS Section 22a-171 (Formerly Sec. 19-507) ``Duties of Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection,'' as published in the General Statutes of Connecticut revised to January 1, 2013; amended in Public Act 84-546 in 1984, effective October 1, 1984; CGS Section 16a-21a ``Sulfur content of home heating oil and off-road diesel fuel. Suspension of requirements for emergency,'' as published in the General Statutes of Connecticut revised to January 1, 2013, effective July 1, 2011. As noted in Table 1, EPA is conditionally approving Connecticut's commitment for sub-element sections 110(a)(2)(C)(ii), (D)(i)(II) and (J)(iii) with respect to the 2008 Pb, 2008 ozone, 2010 NO2 , and 2010 SO2 NAAQS, as well as newly conditionally approving the state's submittals for these sub-elements with respect to the 1997 and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS. In a letter dated August 5, 2015, Connecticut committed to adopt and submit to EPA, one year from the publication of this conditional approval, regulatory revisions to Connecticut's prevention of significant deterioration and new source review permitting requirements that meet the requirements to treat NOX as a precursor pollutant to ozone and to establish a minor source baseline date for PM2.5 . Under section 110(k)(4) of the Act, EPA may conditionally approve a plan based on a commitment from the State to adopt specific enforceable measures by a date certain, but not later than one year from the date of approval. By this date, the State must meet its commitment made in its August 5, 2015 letter to submit revisions to its PSD program that fully meet the requirements above. If the State fails to do so, this action will become a disapproval one year from the date of publication of final approval. EPA will notify the State by letter that this action has occurred. At that time, this commitment will no longer be a part of the approved Connecticut SIP. EPA subsequently will publish a document in the Federal Register notifying the public that the conditional approval is converted to a disapproval. If the State meets its commitment within the applicable time frame, the conditionally approved submission will remain a part of the SIP until EPA takes final action approving or disapproving the new submittal. If EPA disapproves the new submittal, the conditionally approved portions of Connecticut's Infrastructure SIP submittals will also be disapproved at that time. If EPA approves the revised PSD program submittal, then the portions of Connecticut's infrastructure SIP submittals that were conditionally approved will be fully approved in their entirety. In addition, final disapproval of an infrastructure SIP submittal triggers the Federal implementation plan (FIP) requirement under section 110(c). Other specific requirements of infrastructure SIPs and the rationale for EPA's final action on Connecticut's submittals are explained in the NPR and will not be restated here. III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011); Does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); Is certified as not having a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.); Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4); Does not have Federalism implications as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999); Is not an economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); Is not a significant regulatory action subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act; and Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and other [[Page 35639]] required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by August 2, 2016. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
