| 2013-27992 | Identification of Nonattainment Classification and Deadlines for Submission of State Implementation Plan (SIP) Provisions for the 1997 Fine Particle (PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS | Proposed Rule | On January 4, 2013, in Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) v. EPA, the D.C. Circuit Court (Court) remanded to the EPA the "Final Clean Air Fine Particle Implementation Rule" (April 25, 2007) and the "Implementation of the New Source Review (NSR) Program for Particulate Matter Less than 2.5 Micrometers (PM<INF>2.5</INF>)" final rule (May 16, 2008) (collectively, "1997 PM<INF>2.5</INF> Implementation Rules"). The Court found that the EPA erred in implementing the 1997 PM<INF>2.5</INF> National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) pursuant solely to the general implementation provisions of subpart 1 of Part D of Title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act), without also considering the particulate matter-specific provisions of subpart 4 of Part D. The Court's ruling remanded the rules to the EPA to address implementation of the 1997 PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS under subpart 4. This proposed rulemaking identifies the classification under subpart 4 for areas currently designated nonattainment for the 1997 and/or 2006 PM<INF>2.5</INF> standards, the deadlines for states to submit attainment-related and new source review (NSR) state implementation plan (SIP) elements required for these areas pursuant to subpart 4, and the EPA guidance that is currently available regarding subpart 4 requirements. The proposed deadlines for 1997 and 2006 PM<INF>2.5</INF> attainment- related SIP submissions and NSR requirements for nonattainment areas would replace previous deadlines that were set solely pursuant to subpart 1. Specifically, the EPA is proposing to identify the initial classification of current 1997 and/or 2006 PM<INF>2.5</INF> nonattainment areas as "moderate," and the EPA is proposing to set a deadline of December 31, 2014, for submission of remaining required SIP submissions for these areas, pursuant to and considering the application of subpart 4. This rulemaking affects eight nonattainment areas in five states. | 2013-11-21 | 2013 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/11/21/2013-27992/identification-of-nonattainment-classification-and-deadlines-for-submission-of-state-implementation | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-11-21/pdf/2013-27992.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | On January 4, 2013, in Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) v.
