| E9-22904 | Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans, Alabama: Clean Air Interstate Rule | Proposed Rule | EPA is proposing to approve a portion of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Alabama, through the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), on March 7, 2007. This action proposes to approve the portion of the March 7, 2007, submittal that addresses State reporting requirements under the Nitrogen Oxide (NO<INF>X</INF>) SIP Call and the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) found in 40 CFR 51.122 and 51.125 as amended by the CAIR rulemakings. Specifically, in this action EPA is proposing to approve revisions to Chapter 335-3-1 "General Provisions." In previous rulemakings, EPA took action on the other portions of the March 7, 2007, SIP submittal, which included revisions to Chapters 335- 3-5, and 335-3-8 (October 1, 2007, 72 FR 55659) and Chapter 335-3-17 (March 26, 2009, 74 FR 13118). Although the DC Circuit Court found CAIR to be flawed, the rule was remanded without vacatur and thus remains in place. Thus, EPA is continuing to approve CAIR provisions into SIPs as appropriate. CAIR, as promulgated, requires States to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>) and NO<INF>X</INF> that significantly contribute to, or interfere with maintenance of, the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for fine particulates and/or ozone in any downwind state. CAIR establishes budgets for SO<INF>2</INF> and NO<INF>X</INF> for States that contribute significantly to nonattainment in downwind States and requires the significantly contributing States to submit SIP revisions that implement these budgets. States have the flexibility to choose which control measures to adopt to achieve the budgets, including participation in EPA- administered cap-and-trade programs addressing SO<INF>2</INF>, NO<INF>X</INF> annual, and NO<INF>X</INF> ozone season emissions. This action is being taken pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). | 2009-09-23 | 2009 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2009/09/23/E9-22904/approval-and-promulgation-of-implementation-plans-alabama-clean-air-interstate-rule | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2009-09-23/pdf/E9-22904.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is proposing to approve a portion of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Alabama, through the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), on March 7, 2007.
