40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2017-0500; FRL-9971-71-Region 4]


Air Plan Approval; Florida; Stationary Sources Emissions 
Monitoring; Reopening of Comment Period

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is reopening the 
comment period for a proposed rulemaking notice published in the 
Federal Register on October 13, 2017, which accompanied a direct final 
rulemaking published on the same date. The direct final rulemaking has 
been withdrawn due to the receipt of an adverse comment. In the October 
13, 2017, proposed rulemaking, EPA proposed to approve a portion of a 
State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of 
Florida, through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection 
(FDEP) on February 1, 2017, for the purpose of revising Florida's 
requirements and procedures for emissions monitoring at stationary 
sources. Additionally, the October 13, 2017, document included a 
proposed correction to remove a Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) 
rule that was previously approved for removal from the SIP in a 
separate action but was never removed. It was brought to EPA's 
attention that the February 1, 2017, state submittals and related 
materials were not accessible to the public through the electronic 
docket. The materials are now accessible in the electronic docket. EPA 
is reopening the comment period for an additional 30 days.

DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule published October 13, 
2017 (82 FR 47662), reopened. Comments must be received on or before 
January 16, 2018. In a future final action based on the proposed rule, 
EPA will address all public comments received, including the adverse 
comment received on the direct final rule.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
OAR-2017-0500 at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot 
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. EPA may publish any comment 
received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically 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. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA published a proposed rulemaking on 
October 13, 2017 (82 FR 47662), which accompanied a direct final 
rulemaking published on the same date (82 FR 47636). The proposed 
revision includes amendments to three F.A.C. rule sections, as well as 
the removal of one F.A.C. rule section from the Florida SIP, in order 
to eliminate redundant language and make updates to the requirements 
for emissions monitoring

at stationary sources. Additionally, the October 13, 2017, proposed 
rulemaking included a correction to remove an additional F.A.C. rule 
that was previously approved for removal from the SIP in a separate 
action but was never removed. It was brought to EPA's attention that 
the February 1, 2017, state submittals and related materials were not 
accessible to the public through the electronic docket. The materials 
are now accessible in the electronic docket. EPA is reopening the 
comment period for an additional 30 days.
