| E7-18849 | Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Virginia; Clean Air Interstate Rule Budget Trading Programs | Proposed Rule | EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted on March 30, 2007 and supplemented on April 30, 2007 and June 11, 2007. This revision addresses the requirements of EPA's Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), promulgated on May 12, 2005 and subsequently revised on April 28, 2006 and December 13, 2006. EPA is proposing to determine that the SIP revision fully implements the CAIR requirements for Virginia. Therefore, as a consequence of the SIP approval, EPA will also withdraw the CAIR Federal Implementation Plans (FIP) that address sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>), nitrogen oxides (NO<INF>X</INF>) annual, and NO<INF>X</INF> ozone season emissions in Virginia. The CAIR FIPs for all States in the CAIR region were promulgated on April 28, 2006 and subsequently revised on December 13, 2006. The CAIR requires affected States to reduce emissions of SO<INF>2</INF> and NO<INF>X</INF> that significantly contribute to, and interfere with maintenance of, the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for fine particulates and/or ozone in any downwind state. The CAIR establishes State budgets for SO<INF>2</INF> and NO<INF>X</INF> and requires States to submit SIP revisions that implement these budgets in States that EPA determined contribute to nonattainment in downwind states. States have the flexibility to choose which control measures to adopt to achieve the budgets, and may choose whether or not to participate in the EPA-administered cap-and-trade programs. In the SIP revision that EPA is proposing to approve, Virginia would meet CAIR requirements by participating in the EPA- administered cap-and-trade programs addressing SO<INF>2</INF>, NO<INF>X</INF> annual, and NO<INF>X</INF> ozone season emissions. | 2007-09-25 | 2007 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2007/09/25/E7-18849/approval-and-promulgation-of-air-quality-implementation-plans-virginia-clean-air-interstate-rule | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-09-25/pdf/E7-18849.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted on March 30, 2007 and supplemented on April 30, 2007 and June 11, 2007.
