b The EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards has indicated that there has been no significant change in this sector since the rule was promulgated. Therefore, we have assumed that there are 71 existing sources subject to the standard. This estimate is based on about 20 percent of the 86 ( or 17) existing steel pickling facilities and acid regeneration plants at the time of rule development may be area sources that would not be subject to the standard. We have also that one new source at one facility would begin operation during the next 3 year period and would be required to comply with one time only activities. Based on these assumptions, the average number of respondents per year for this ICR would be 71.3. For this ICR, we have further assume that all sources are in compliance with the existing rule requirements and none have requested a compliance extension.

c Estimated hours for performance test and report by EPA Method 26A.

d The new source will be required to conduct an initial performance test and we assume will not have to repeat it.

e All existing sources ( 71) are required to conduct an annual performance test.

g The new source will be required to meet initial notifications requiremenets.

h Assumes one reconstructed source at one facility over the 3 yr period, for 0.3 occurrences per respondent ( 1/ 3= 0.3).

i Assumes no respondents will request a NESHAP waiver.

j Assumes 20% of respondents ( or 14.26) report excess emissions semiannually and the remaining 80 % ( or 57.04 sources) report no excess emissions over the 3 year period.

Attainment Date Extensions for the Logan, Utah-Idaho 24-Hour Fine
Particulate Matter Nonattainment Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
grant two, one-year extensions to the Moderate attainment date for the
2006 24-hour fine particulate matter (PM2.5) Logan, Utah
(UT)-Idaho (ID) nonattainment area. This action is based on the EPA's
evaluation of air quality monitoring data and extension requests
submitted by the State of Utah on May 2, 2017, and the State of Idaho
on December 15, 2015, February 26, 2016, and April 25, 2017. The EPA is
proposing to grant a one-year extension of the Moderate attainment date
from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016, and is proposing to grant
a second one-year extension of the Moderate attainment date from
December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017, in accordance with section
188(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before July 10, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R10-
OAR-2017-0193 at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online

553-0256; email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    We have provided a full explanation of this proposed action in a
companion proposal for the Utah portion of the Logan, UT-ID
nonattainment area under docket number EPA-R08-OAR-2017-0216.
Specifically, in section II. Background and III. Basis for EPA's
Proposed Action, we provide an explanation of the CAA requirements, a
detailed analysis of the air quality monitoring data, and the EPA's
reasons for proposing to grant two, one-year extensions to the Moderate
attainment date for the Logan, UT-ID nonattainment area as a whole.
That background and analysis applies equally to both the Utah and Idaho
portions of the Logan, UT-ID nonattainment area, so the information in
the companion proposal is incorporated by reference into this proposal
and will not be restated here.

II. Proposed Action

    In response to requests from the Governor of Utah on May 2, 2017,
and from the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) on
December 15, 2015, February 26, 2016, and April 25, 2017, the EPA is
proposing to grant two, one-year attainment date extensions to the
Moderate attainment date for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for the Logan, UT-ID
nonattainment area. If finalized, this action would extend the Moderate
area attainment date for the Logan, UT-ID nonattainment area from
December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016, and from December 31, 2016 to
December 31, 2017. The proposed action to extend the Moderate
attainment date for this nonattainment area is based on both states'
compliance with the requirements for the applicable State
Implementation Plan (SIP) for the area and on the 2015 and 2016
PM2.5 98th percentile data from the Logan (Utah), Smithfield
(Utah), and Franklin (Idaho) monitoring sites in the Logan, UT-ID
nonattainment area. If we finalize this proposal, consistent with CAA
section 188(d) and 40 CFR 51.1005(a)(1), the nonattainment area will
remain a Moderate PM2.5 nonattainment area, with a Moderate
area attainment date of December 31, 2017. Additionally, the states
will not have to submit the additional planning requirements that

apply to Serious PM2.5 nonattainment areas unless the area
fails to attain the standard by the extended Moderate area attainment
date and the area is reclassified to a Serious PM2.5
nonattainment area. Consistent with CAA section 188(b)(2), the EPA will
determine whether the area attained the standard within six months
following the applicable attainment date.
    This action is not a redesignation to attainment under CAA section
107(d)(3)(E). Utah and Idaho are not currently attaining the NAAQS and
have not submitted maintenance plans as required under section 175(A)
of the CAA or met the other statutory requirements for redesignation to
attainment. The designation status in 40 CFR part 81 will remain a
Moderate nonattainment area until such time as Utah and Idaho meet the
CAA requirements for redesignation to attainment or the area is
reclassified to Serious.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at http://www2.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is not a significant regulatory action and therefore is
not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
This proposed action merely approves a state request as meeting federal
requirements and imposes no new requirements.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose any additional information collection
burden under the provisions of the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. This
action merely approves a state request for an attainment date
extension, and this action does not impose additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. This
action will not impose any requirements on small entities beyond those
imposed by state law. Approval of a state's request for an attainment
date extension does not create any new requirements and does not
directly regulate any entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. This action does not impose additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law. Accordingly, no additional costs to
State, local, or tribal governments, or to the private sector, will
result from this action.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between
the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Pursuant
to the CAA, this action merely approves a state request for an
attainment date extension.

F. Executive Order 13175: Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175. No tribal areas are located in the nonattainment
area that will be receiving an attainment date extension. The CAA and
the Tribal Authority Rule establish the relationship of the federal
government and tribes in developing plans to attain the NAAQS, and this
rule does nothing to modify that relationship. Thus, Executive Order
13175 does not apply to this action.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is
not economically significant as defined in Executive Order 12866, and
because the EPA does not believe any environmental health or safety
risks addressed by this action present a disproportionate risk to
children. This action merely approves a state request for an attainment
date extension and it does not impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by state law.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    This rulemaking does not involve technical standards. This action
merely approves a state request for an attainment date extension.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Population

    The EPA believes that this action does not have disproportionately
high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority
populations, low-income populations and/or indigenous peoples, as
specified in Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
This action approves a state request for an attainment date extension
based on the state's compliance with requirements and commitments in
its plan and recent air quality monitoring data that meets requirements
for an extension.
