ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R10-OAR-2016-0584; FRL-9960-42-Region 10]


Air Plan Approval; ID, Updates to Incorporations by Reference

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve 
the portions of Idaho's April 28, 2016 State Implementation Plan 
submittal (SIP submittal) that update the incorporation by reference of 
federal air quality regulations. We note that this action does not 
address the changes Idaho withdrew related to transportation conformity 
requirements.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 12, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R10-
OAR-2016-0584, at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot 
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any 
comment received to its public docket. Do not electronically submit any 
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment 
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA 
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located 
outside of the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other 
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA 
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, 
and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Randall Ruddick, Air Planning Unit, 
Office of Air and Waste (OAW-150), Environmental Protection Agency, 
Region 10, 1200 Sixth Ave., Suite 900, Seattle, WA 98101; telephone 
number: (206) 553-1999; email address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For further information, please see the 
direct final action, of the same title, which is located in the Rules 
section of this Federal Register. The EPA is approving the State's SIP 
revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the EPA 
views this as a noncontroversial SIP revision and anticipates no 
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in 
the preamble to the direct final rule. If the EPA receives no adverse 
comments, the EPA will not take further action on this proposed rule.
    If the EPA receives adverse comments, the EPA will withdraw the 
direct final rule and it will not take effect. The EPA will address all 
adverse comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed 
rule, but will not institute a second comment period on this action. 
Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at 
this time. Please note that if we receive adverse comment on an 
amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may 
be severed from the remainder of the rule, the EPA may adopt as final 
those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse 
comment.

    Dated: February 7, 2017.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 10.
