{"abstract":"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a state implementation plan (SIP) revision submittal from the State of West Virginia pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA). Whenever new or revised national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) are promulgated, the CAA requires states to submit a plan for the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of such NAAQS. The plan is required to address basic program elements, including, but not limited to, regulatory structure, monitoring, modeling, legal authority, and adequate resources necessary to assure attainment and maintenance of the standards. These elements are referred to as infrastructure requirements. West Virginia has made a submittal addressing the infrastructure requirements for the 2012 fine particulate matter (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) NAAQS. This action proposes to approve portions of this submittal.","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/2016/12/23/2016-30882.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":52,"title":40}],"citation":"81 FR 94281","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2017-01-23","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Written comments must be received on or before January 23, 2017.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373","FRL-9957-19-Region 3"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"WV PM transport TSD","document_id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0012"},{"title":"Approval letter regarding WV's 2015 annual monitoring network plan","document_id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0007"},{"title":"Technical Support Document","document_id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0006"},{"title":"Air Quality System Query 24hr PM2.5 West Virginia 2006-2015","document_id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0005"},{"title":"Guidance on Infrastructure State Implementation Plan (SIP) Elements under Clean Air Act Sections 110(a)(1) and 110(a)(1).","document_id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0004"},{"title":"Completeness Letter and Checklist","document_id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0003"},{"title":"State Submittal - Transmittal Letter and Enclosures","document_id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0002"}],"agency_name":"EPA","documents":[{"comment_count":2,"comment_start_date":"2016-12-23","updated_at":"2023-02-28T15:48:07.776-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0001","allow_late_comments":null,"id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0001","comment_end_date":"2017-01-24","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":7,"id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373","title":"West Virginia:  Infrastructure Requirements for the 2012 Fine Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards"}],"document_number":"2016-30882","effective_on":null,"end_page":94283,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2016/12/23/2016-30882.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/12/23/2016-30882/air-plan-approval-wv-infrastructure-requirements-for-the-2012-fine-particulate-standard","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2016-30882?publication_date=2016-12-23","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2016-12-23/2016-30882/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":33,"last_updated":"2026-04-24 06:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-12-23/pdf/2016-30882.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2016-30882.pdf?1482414350","publication_date":"2016-12-23","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2016/12/23/2016-30882.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"WV PM transport TSD","document_id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0012"},{"title":"Approval letter regarding WV's 2015 annual monitoring network plan","document_id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0007"},{"title":"Technical Support Document","document_id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0006"},{"title":"Air Quality System Query 24hr PM2.5 West Virginia 2006-2015","document_id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0005"},{"title":"Guidance on Infrastructure State Implementation Plan (SIP) Elements under Clean Air Act Sections 110(a)(1) and 110(a)(1).","document_id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0004"},{"title":"Completeness Letter and Checklist","document_id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0003"},{"title":"State Submittal - Transmittal Letter and Enclosures","document_id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0002"}],"comments_count":2,"agency_id":"EPA","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373","supporting_documents_count":7,"docket_id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373","document_id":"EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0373-0001","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"West Virginia:  Infrastructure Requirements for the 2012 Fine Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2023-02-28T20:48:06Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":94281,"subtype":null,"title":"Air Plan Approval;
