I. Background
II. EPA's Analysis of Illinois's Regional Haze Progress Report and 
Adequacy Determination
III. What action is EPA taking?
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background

    States are required to submit a progress report every five years 
that evaluates progress towards the Reasonable Progress Goals (RPGs) 
for each mandatory Class I Federal area \1\ (Class I area) within the 
state and in each Class I area outside the state which may be affected 
by emissions from within the state. See 40 CFR 51.308(g). States are 
also required to submit, at the same time as the progress report, a 
determination of the adequacy of the state's existing regional haze 
SIP. See 40 CFR 51.308(h). The first progress report must be submitted 
in the form of a SIP revision and is due five years after the submittal 
of the initial regional haze SIP. On June 24, 2011, Illinois submitted 
its first regional haze SIP in accordance with the requirements of 40 
CFR 51.308. EPA approved Illinois' regional haze plan into its SIP on 
July 6, 2012, 77 FR 39943.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Areas designated as mandatory Class I Federal areas consist 
of national parks exceeding 6000 acres, wilderness areas and 
national memorial parks exceeding 5000 acres, and all international 
parks that were in existence on August 7, 1977 (42 U.S.C. 7472(a)). 
Listed at 40 CFR part 81, subpart D.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On February 1, 2017, Illinois submitted a SIP revision consisting 
of a report on the progress made in the first implementation period 
towards the RPGs for Class I areas outside of Illinois (progress 
report). Illinois does not have any Class I areas within its borders. 
This progress report included a determination that Illinois' existing 
regional haze SIP requires no substantive revision to achieve the 
established regional haze visibility improvement and emissions 
reduction goals for 2018. EPA is approving Illinois' progress report on 
the basis that it satisfies the requirements of 40 CFR 51.308.

II. EPA's Analysis of Illinois's Regional Haze Progress Report and 
Adequacy Determination

    On February 1, 2017, Illinois EPA submitted the progress report as 
a revision to its regional haze SIP to address progress made in the 
first planning period towards RPGs for Class I areas that are affected 
by emissions from Illinois' sources. The progress report included a 
determination of the adequacy of the state's existing regional haze 
SIP.
    Illinois has no Class I areas within its borders. In the initial 
SIP, the following Class I areas are identified as sites that may be 
affected by emissions from within Illinois: Sipsey Wilderness Area 
(Alabama), Caney Creek Wilderness Area and Upper Buffalo Wilderness 
Area (Arkansas), Great Gulf Wilderness Area (New Hampshire), Boundary 
Waters Canoe Wilderness Area (Minnesota), Brigantine Wilderness Area 
(New Jersey), Great Smoky Mountains National Park (North Carolina, and 
Tennessee), Mammoth Cave National Park (Kentucky), Acadia National Park 
and Moosehorn Wilderness Area (Maine), Isle Royale National Park and 
Seney Wilderness Area (Michigan), Hercules-Glades Wilderness Area and 
Mingo Wilderness Area (Missouri), Lye Brook Wilderness (Vermont), James 
River Face Wilderness and Shenandoah National Park (Virginia), and 
Dolly Sods/Otter Creek Wilderness (West Virginia).
    In developing the Long Term Strategy (LTS), the original Illinois 
regional haze SIP determined that ``on-the-books'' controls, together 
with best available retrofit technology (BART) controls, would 
constitute the measures necessary to address Illinois' contribution to 
visibility impairment in the Class I areas at which emissions from 
Illinois contribute. This was supported by modeling assessments from 
the Midwest Regional Planning Organization (MRPO) and in consultation 
with other states and Regional Planning Organizations.

A. Regional Haze Progress Report SIP Elements

    The following sections discuss the information provided by Illinois 
in the progress report. Each section describes Illinois' applicable 
progress report submission along with EPA's analysis and proposed 
determination as to whether the submission met the

[[Page 48432]]

applicable requirements of 40 CFR 51.308.
1. Status of Implementation of All Measures Included in the Regional 
Haze SIP
    Illinois provided the status of implementation of all control 
measures as required by 40 CFR 51.308(g)(1). Illinois identified 
control measures regulated explicitly for the purposes of the regional 
haze program, as well as additional control measures that were expected 
to take effect within the first planning period. The regional haze 
controls implemented by Illinois include both BART and a LTS.
    In its original regional haze SIP, Illinois relied primarily on 
three control strategies for meeting its regional haze requirements to 
ensure reasonable progress: \2\ (1) Federal consent decrees for two 
petroleum refineries; (2) source-specific limits for three power plants 
that were included in Federally enforceable permits; and, (3) emission 
reductions from the vast majority of state's electric generating unit 
(EGU) fleet resulting from the Multi-Pollutant Standard (MPS) and the 
Combined Pollutant Standard (CPS) regulatory requirements found in 
Title 35 of the Illinois Administrative Code (35 IAC), Mercury Rule, 
Part 225, Subpart B--Control of Mercury Emissions from Coal-Fired 
Electric Generating Units (Part 225). These elements of Illinois' SIP 
satisfied the requirements for BART in 40 CFR 51.308(e). All three 
control strategies have been implemented or are being implemented on 
the schedules approved in the SIP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Illinois did not rely upon the Clean Air Interstate Rule 
(CAIR) or the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) for its 
regional haze SIP, and thus, has avoided the issues that presented 
themselves in other states due to their reliance on CAIR and CSAPR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition to these control measures being implemented, in Section 
1.2 of the report Illinois identified a list of ``on-the-books'' 
control measures used in the MRPO's modeling for Illinois' SIP that the 
state expected to implement between 2002 and 2018. These ``on-the-
books'' control measures are being implemented as planned or in a 
manner at least as stringent as anticipated at the time of the original 
haze plan submittal. More detailed information regarding the 
implementation dates of the various control measures can be found in 
Appendix A of the report.
    Illinois did not rely on additional emissions controls from other 
states in its regional haze strategy. In Section 1.3 of the report, 
Illinois noted the following additional control measures not considered 
in Illinois' regional haze SIP which are expected to contribute to 
further reduction of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions before 
2018: Compliance with the 2010 SO2 National Ambient Air 
Quality Standard, and the Federal Tier 3 Vehicle Emissions and Fuel 
Standard Program (2014).
    The report noted that in 2015 Illinois adopted regulations that set 
statewide fuel sulfur standards for stationary sources at 1000 parts 
per million (ppm) for residual oil and 15 ppm for distillate fuel oil. 
These regulatory requirements were to be implemented by January 1, 
2017.
    EPA concludes that Illinois has adequately addressed the status of 
control measures in its regional haze SIP as required by 40 CFR 
51.308(g)(1).
2. Summary of Emissions Reductions Achieved in the State Through 
Implementation of Measures
    In its progress report, Illinois provided a summary of emission 
reductions achieved through implementation of control strategies 
described in the above paragraph as required by 40 CFR 51.308(g)(1).
    Illinois' reliance upon the MPS and CPS from 35 IAC 225, the 
source-specific limits incorporated into Federally enforceable permits 
for three power plants, and requirements contained in Federal consent 
decrees for two petroleum refineries have resulted in significant 
emission reductions of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and 
SO2. In Section 2.0 of the progress report, Illinois 
provided emissions data from the base year 2002 for the regional haze 
rule, projections of emissions for 2015 and 2018, and actual emissions 
data from EPA's Air Markets Program Data. These data indicate that 
greater reductions of NOX and SO2 emissions have 
occurred in 2015 at regulated sources than were anticipated for the 
entire first implementation period ending in 2018.
    The additional emission reductions reported in Section 2.0 were 
based on other factors such as the shutting down or conversion of coal-
fired EGUs to combustion of other fuels, and control measures related 
to Federal requirements such as, Maximum Achievable Control Technology 
and the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards. The report shows that 
emission reduction of visibility-impairing pollutants in Illinois have 
been greater than anticipated at the time of its regional haze plan 
submittal.
    EPA finds the summary of emission reductions achieved from control 
strategy implementation adequately addresses the applicable provisions 
of 40 CFR 51.308(g)(2).
3. Assessment of Visibility Conditions and Changes for Each Mandatory 
Class I Federal Area in the State
    Illinois does not have any Class I areas within its boundaries, and 
as the applicable provisions pertain only to states containing Class I 
areas, no further discussion is necessary. EPA concludes that Illinois 
has adequately addressed the applicable provisions of 40 CFR 51.308(g).
4. Analysis Tracking Emissions Changes of Visibility-Impairing 
Pollutants
    In its progress report, Illinois provided an analysis tracking the 
emissions progress over the past five years, as required by 40 CFR 
51.308(g)(4). Illinois based its report on the most recent updated 
emissions inventory to account for emission changes during the 
applicable five-year period. The analysis includes emissions of 
SO2, NOX, ammonia (NH3), volatile 
organic compound (VOC), and direct emissions of fine particulate matter 
(PM2.5) for the years 2010 to 2014 (the most recent year for 
which Illinois has a full quality-assured inventory). In order to 
provide a five-year analysis with data from years with full quality-
assured inventories, Illinois EPA has interpolated 2010 inventory data 
from its 2008 and 2011 inventories.
    Table 1 below contains Illinois inventory data aggregated by source 
type for each visibility-impairing pollutant. This data shows 
significant reductions in Illinois emissions of SO2 (40% 
reduction) and NOX (15% reduction) while showing slight 
increases or decreases in emissions of PM2.5 (0.15% 
increase), VOC (0.5% increase), and NH3 (4% reduction).

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

    An additional table in the report shows the significant reductions 
in SO2 and NOX emissions were driven primarily by 
reductions from the EGU sector. Illinois anticipates that this trend 
will continue in 2015 and beyond, due to further increases in the 
stringency of the state regulations and additional coal-fired EGUs in 
Illinois being retired or converted to natural gas combustion.
    Emissions of VOC and PM2.5 appear to have increased 
slightly over the five-year period. However, Illinois EPA analysis 
indicates that this apparent increase is due mainly to changes in 
inventory methodologies. While VOC emissions in Illinois decreased for 
many subcategories in the inventory summary, these reductions are 
overwhelmed by the significant increase in the ``Petroleum and Related 
Industries'' subcategory. With respect to calculating the proportion of 
PM2.5 in source emissions, Illinois determined that the 
apparent increase in PM2.5 emissions is from the EGU sector, 
while overall PM emissions, fuel usage, and emissions of other 
pollutants for the EGU sector showed significant reductions.
    Overall emissions of visibility-impairing pollutants in Illinois 
have declined over the five-year period between 2010 and 2014. Again, 
the regional haze SIP for Illinois control strategies focused primarily 
on reductions of SO2 and NOX.
    EPA finds that the analysis tracking the emissions progress over 
the past five years adequately addresses the applicable provisions of 
40 CFR 51.308(g).
5. Assessment of Changes Impeding Visibility Progress
    The Regional Haze Rule at 40 CFR 51.308(g)(5) requires an 
assessment of any significant changes in emissions over the past five 
years that have impeded progress in improving visibility.
    In the progress report, Illinois has not identified any significant 
changes in anthropogenic emissions within Illinois that have occurred 
over the last five years that would limit or impede progress in 
improving visibility. Illinois reports that there have been no 
significant unexpected increases in emissions in the past five years. 
Likewise, Illinois reports that there have been no projected decreases 
in pollutant emissions from the regional haze SIP that have not been 
realized. Data detailed in Sections 2.0 and 4.0 of Illinois' progress 
report show Illinois achieving emission reductions of SO2 
and NOX beyond the projected emission reductions in the 
original regional haze SIP.
    Because Illinois does not contain any Federal Class I areas, 
Illinois is not required to assess whether emission increases outside 
the state are causing a Class I area within the state to be adversely 
affected. Thus, EPA concludes that Illinois has adequately addressed 
the applicable provisions of 40 CFR 50.308.
6. Assessment of Current Strategy
    In its progress report, Illinois submits that the elements and 
strategies outlined in its original regional haze SIP are sufficient to 
enable Illinois and states where Illinois contributes to visibility 
impairments to meet all established RPGs. To support this conclusion, 
Illinois has implemented, or will implement by 2018, all controls from 
its regional haze plan. In the progress report, Illinois states that 
good progress has been made in reducing in visibility-impairing 
pollutants in the last five years. The state noted that it is on track 
to meet its 2018 goals for emission reductions before the end of 2018 
for key pollutants, SO2 and NOX. Section 2.0 of 
the progress report, provides actual emissions data showing significant 
emissions reductions in visibility impairing pollutants in 2015 that 
have already exceeded the projected emission reductions in the Illinois 
by 2018.
    EPA agrees that Illinois' assessment of strategies outlined in its 
regional haze SIP has adequately addressed the applicable provisions of 
40 CFR 50.308.
7. Review of the State's Visibility Monitoring Strategy
    Illinois's progress report indicates that there are no Class I 
areas within its borders. EPA concludes that because Illinois does not 
have any Class I areas within its borders and therefore is not required 
to address the applicable provisions related to review of the state's 
visibility monitoring strategy, the state has adequately addressed the 
applicable provisions of 40 CFR 51.308.

B. Determination of Adequacy of the Existing Regional Haze Plan

    The rule at 40 CFR 51.308(h) requires a determination of adequacy 
for the regional haze plan to be submitted at the same time as the 
progress report. The rule requires the state to select from four 
options based on the information given in the progress report. Illinois 
submitted a negative declaration that further substantive revisions to 
its regional haze plan are not needed at this time. Illinois determined 
that its regional haze plan is adequate to meet the regional haze rule 
requirements and expects Class I areas affected by Illinois to achieve 
the reasonable progress goals. The nearest Class I area outside the 
state of Illinois is either in southwestern Missouri or northern 
Michigan. See 77 FR 3966, 3967 (January 12, 2012). Illinois reports 
that it is on track to meet the visibility improvement and emission 
reduction goals. EPA agrees that the current Illinois regional haze 
plan is adequate to achieve these goals.

C. Public Participation and Federal Land Manager (FLM) Consultation

    On June 23, 2016, Illinois provided an opportunity for FLMs to 
review the revision to Illinois' SIP reporting on progress made during 
the first implementation period toward RPGs for Class I areas outside 
the state that are affected by emissions from Illinois' sources. This 
was 60 days in advance of the public hearing.
    Illinois' progress report includes the FLMs comments received and 
responses to those comments in Appendix A in the progress report.

[[Page 48434]]

    Illinois also published notification for a public hearing and 
solicitation for comments in the Illinois Register on October 7, 2016, 
with the public comment period commencing on that day and ending on 
November 6, 2016. Illinois received no request for a public hearing. 
Illinois received one public comment during the public comment period. 
The state provided a response to the comment, regarding the Illinois 
regional haze report.
    EPA finds that Illinois has addressed the applicable requirements 
in Sec.  51.308(i) regarding FLM consultation.

III. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is approving the regional haze progress report submitted on 
February 1, 2017, as a revision to the Illinois SIP. Illinois has 
satisfied the progress report requirements of 40 CFR 51.308(g). EPA 
also finds that Illinois has met the 40 CFR 51.308(h) requirements for 
a determination of the adequacy of its regional haze plan with its 
negative declaration also submitted on February 1, 2017.
    We are publishing this action without prior proposal because we 
view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse 
comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal 
Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will 
serve as the proposal to approve the state plan if relevant adverse 
written comments are filed. This rule will be effective December 18, 
2017 without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse written 
comments by November 17, 2017. If we receive such comments, we will 
withdraw this action before the effective date by publishing a 
subsequent document that will withdraw the final action. All public 
comments received will then be addressed in a subsequent final rule 
based on the proposed action. EPA will not institute a second comment 
period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do 
so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an 
amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may 
be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those 
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. 
If we do not receive any comments, this action will be effective 
December 18, 2017.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP 
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable 
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in 
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices, 
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this 
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and 
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state 
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review 
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58 
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the 
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or 
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in 
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based 
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to 
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the 
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent 
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to 
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental 
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under 
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian 
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has 
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian 
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose 
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as 
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the 
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally 
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating 
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, 
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the 
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and 
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of 
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior 
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot 
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal 
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review 
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for 
the appropriate circuit by December 18, 2017. Filing a petition for 
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect 
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor 
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may 
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or 
action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are 
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of 
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules 
section of this Federal Register, rather than file an immediate 
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can 
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed 
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to 
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
