[EPA-R06-OAR-2009-0750; FRL-9963-46-Region-6]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Texas; Redesignation of the Collin County Area to Attainment the 2008 
Lead Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
determine the Collin County Lead (Pb) Nonattainment Area (comprising 
the part of Collin County bounded to the north by latitude 33.153 
North, to the east by longitude 96.822 West, to the south by latitude 
33.131 North, and to the West by longitude 96.837 West, which surrounds 
the Exide Technologies property), hereinafter referenced to as Non-
Attainment Area or NAA, as attainment for the 2008 Pb NAAQS. We are 
also proposing to approve two SIP revision requests made by the TCEQ in 
2009 and 2012. These two requests include one made in 2009 requesting 
approval of the state's second 10-year maintenance plan for the 1978 Pb 
National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) and one made in 2012 to 
approve the state's plan to demonstrate compliance with the 2008 Pb 
NAAQS. These two revisions represent a change in the Texas State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) for Pb. The details of all three proposals, 
and our complete analysis of the requirements for each and how the 
state's submission meets those requirements can be found in the 
accompanying direct final notice and technical support document (TSD) 
to this proposal. The TSD is available in the docket at http://www.regulations.gov, Docket ID No. EPA-R06-OAR-2009-0750.

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before July 31, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R06-
OAR-2009-0750, at http://www.regulations.gov or via email to 
[email protected]. For additional information on how to submit 
comments see the detailed instructions in the ADDRESSES section of the 
direct final rule located in the rules section of this Federal 
Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal 
Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as 
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received in response to this 
action no further activity is contemplated. If the EPA receives 
relevant adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 
all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final 
rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second 
comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action 
should do so at this time.
    For additional information, see the direct final rule which is 
located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: June 14, 2017.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 6.
