{"abstract":"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a December 1, 2015, State Implementation Plan (SIP) submittal from Kansas concerning allocations of Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) emission allowances. Under CSAPR, large electricity generating units in Kansas are subject to a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) requiring the units to participate in CSAPR's Federal trading program for annual emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO<INF>X</INF>). This action would approve Kansas' adoption into its SIP of state regulations establishing state-determined allocations to replace EPA's default allocations to Kansas units of CSAPR allowances for annual NO<INF>X</INF> emissions for 2017 through 2019. EPA is proposing to approve the SIP revision because it meets the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and EPA's regulations for approval of an abbreviated SIP revision replacing EPA's default allocations of CSAPR emission allowances with state-determined allocations. Approval of this SIP revision would not alter any provision of CSAPR's Federal trading program for annual NO<INF>X</INF> emissions as applied to Kansas units other than the allowance allocation provisions, and the FIP requiring the units to participate in the trading program (as modified by the SIP revision) would remain in place.","action":"Proposed rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2016/06/29/2016-15039.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":52,"title":40}],"citation":"81 FR 42294","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2016-07-29","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments must be received by July 29, 2016.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["EPA-R07-OAR-2016-0303","FRL-9948-12-Region 7"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Kansas Submission received Dec. 10, 2015  CSAPR SIP (2017-19 control periods)","document_id":"EPA-R07-OAR-2016-0303-0003"}],"agency_name":null,"documents":[{"comment_count":0,"comment_start_date":"2016-06-29","updated_at":"2023-03-01T01:02:03.012-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/EPA-R07-OAR-2016-0303-0001","allow_late_comments":null,"id":"EPA-R07-OAR-2016-0303-0001","comment_end_date":"2016-07-30","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":1,"id":"EPA-R07-OAR-2016-0303","title":"Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; State of Kansas; Cross-State Air Pollution Rule"}],"document_number":"2016-15039","effective_on":null,"end_page":42295,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2016/06/29/2016-15039.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/06/29/2016-15039/approval-and-promulgation-of-air-quality-implementation-plans-state-of-kansas-cross-state-air","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2016-15039?publication_date=2016-06-29","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2016-06-29/2016-15039/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":80,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 04:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-06-29/pdf/2016-15039.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2016-15039.pdf?1467117934","publication_date":"2016-06-29","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2016/06/29/2016-15039.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Kansas Submission received Dec. 10, 2015  CSAPR SIP (2017-19 control periods)","document_id":"EPA-R07-OAR-2016-0303-0003"}],"comments_count":0,"agency_id":"EPA","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=EPA-R07-OAR-2016-0303","supporting_documents_count":1,"docket_id":"EPA-R07-OAR-2016-0303","document_id":"EPA-R07-OAR-2016-0303-0001","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; State of Kansas; Cross-State Air Pollution Rule","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2023-03-01T06:02:02Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":42294,"subtype":null,"title":"Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; State of Kansas; Cross-State Air Pollution Rule","toc_doc":"Kansas; Cross-State Air Pollution Rule","toc_subject":"Air Quality State Implementation Plans; Approvals and Promulgations:","topics":["Air pollution control","Carbon monoxide","Environmental protection","Incorporation by reference","Intergovernmental relations","Lead","Nitrogen dioxide","Ozone","Particulate matter","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Sulfur oxides","Volatile organic compounds"],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":81}
