The EPA is partially approving the State Plan because it meets the requirements of the Emission Guidelines for existing large MWC known to operate in Spokane County, Washington. The EPA is partially disapproving the State Plan because it omits requirements for fluidized bed combustors and air curtain incinerators, which are required elements of a State Plan.",2023-12-13,2023,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/12/13/2023-27295/approval-and-promulgation-of-state-plans-for-designated-facilities-and-pollutants-spokane-regional,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-12-13/pdf/2023-27295.pdf,Environmental Protection Agency,145,The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to partially approve and partially disapprove a Clean Air Act (CAA) State Plan submitted by the Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency (SRCAA).

The SIP revision includes the 2006 24-hour fine particulate matter (PM2.5) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP) for the Birmingham, Alabama maintenance area (Birmingham Area or Area). The Birmingham 2006 24-hour PM2.5 maintenance area is comprised of Jefferson County, Shelby County, and a portion of Walker County. EPA is proposing to approve the Birmingham Area LMP because it provides for the maintenance of the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS within the Birmingham Area through the end of the second 10-year portion of the maintenance period in 2034. The effect of this action would be to incorporate into the Alabama SIP certain commitments related to maintenance of the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS in the Birmingham Area, making them federally enforceable.

Since the FAA issued AD 2020-03-20, the agency received reports from Boeing of simultaneous MMR resets related to an error in calculating Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
