2022-18698. Air Plans; Arizona; Revised Format for Materials Incorporated by Reference; Correcting Amendment

AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:

Proposed rule.

SUMMARY:

On November 23, 2016, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule titled “Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of Arizona; Revised Format for Materials Incorporated by Reference.” That publication inadvertently omitted an entry for a regulation approved as part of the Maricopa County portion of the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP) and contained certain other errors. The EPA is proposing to correct this omission and to correct the other errors. The regulations affected by this correcting amendment have all been previously submitted by the State of Arizona and approved by the EPA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Throughout this document, wherever “we”, “us” or “our” are used, we mean the EPA. In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register , we are correcting the omission of the Maricopa County rule and correcting the other errors in a direct final action without prior proposal because we believe this error correction action is not controversial. If we receive adverse comments, however, we will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule and address the comments in a subsequent action based on this proposed rule.

We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further information, please see the direct final action.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
