The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve and disapprove elements of State Implementation Plan (SIP) submissions from the State of Oklahoma for the 2012 Fine Particulate Matter (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS or standard) and the 2010 Sulfur Dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>) NAAQS. The 2012 PM<INF>2.5</INF> submission addresses how the existing SIP provides for implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of this NAAQS (infrastructure SIP or i-SIP). The i-SIP ensures that the Oklahoma SIP is adequate to meet the State's responsibilities under the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA). The majority of the 2010 SO<INF>2</INF> submission was addressed in a separate rulemaking, only the visibility component listed in 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) is being addressed in this action. We are proposing to disapprove the visibility component of 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II), often referred to as prong 4. We are also proposing to disapprove the portion of the January 28, 2015 SIP submission from Oklahoma for the 2010 Sulfur Dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>) NAAQS only as it addresses Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) for visibility protection.
The agency’s own summary, as published.
