[EPA-R04-OAR-2014-0507; FRL-9965-82-Region 4]


Air Plan Approval; Florida: Infrastructure Requirements for the 
2010 NO2 NAAQS

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a 
portion of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) submission, submitted by 
the State of Florida, through the Florida Department of Environmental 
Protection, on January 22, 2013, addressing the Clean Air Act (CAA or 
Act) infrastructure requirements for the 2010 1-hour nitrogen dioxide 
(NO2) national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS). The CAA 
requires that each state adopt and submit a SIP for the implementation, 
maintenance and enforcement of each NAAQS promulgated by EPA, which is 
commonly referred to as an ``infrastructure SIP submission.'' 
Specifically, EPA is approving the portion of Florida's January 22, 
2013, SIP submission addressing element B of the infrastructure 
requirements, which relates to monitoring requirements. EPA is 
proposing that Florida's infrastructure SIP submission, provided to EPA 
on January 22, 2013, satisfies the infrastructure requirements related 
to monitoring for the 2010 1-hour NO2 NAAQS.
