{"abstract":"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve portions of the December 9, 2015, State Implementation Plan (SIP) submission, submitted by the State of Alabama, through the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), for inclusion into the Alabama SIP. This proposal pertains to the infrastructure requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) for the 2012 annual particulate matter (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS). The CAA requires that each state adopt and submit a SIP for the implementation, maintenance and enforcement of each NAAQS promulgated by EPA, which is commonly referred to as an \"infrastructure SIP.\" ADEM certified that the Alabama SIP contains provisions that ensure the 2012 Annual PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS is implemented, enforced, and maintained in Alabama. EPA is proposing to determine that Alabama's infrastructure SIP submission provided to EPA on December 9, 2015, satisfies certain required infrastructure elements for the 2012 Annual PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS.","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/2017/06/29/2017-13671.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":52,"title":40}],"citation":"82 FR 29448","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2017-07-31","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Written comments must be received on or before July 31, 2017.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0208","FRL-9964-10-Region 4"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Final AL Network Plan Response 11-19-15","document_id":"EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0208-0006"},{"title":"AL EOY 14","document_id":"EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0208-0005"},{"title":"AL-PM2-5 and NO2 110","document_id":"EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0208-0004"},{"title":"AL PM2.5 iSIP submittal","document_id":"EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0208-0003"},{"title":"AL PM2.5 iSIP Letter to Regional Administrator","document_id":"EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0208-0002"}],"agency_name":"EPA","documents":[{"comment_count":0,"comment_start_date":"2017-06-29","updated_at":"2023-03-01T03:09:01.277-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0208-0001","allow_late_comments":null,"id":"EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0208-0001","comment_end_date":"2017-08-01","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":5,"id":"EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0208","title":"Alabama; 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS Infrastructure SIP"}],"document_number":"2017-13671","effective_on":null,"end_page":29457,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2017/06/29/2017-13671.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/06/29/2017-13671/air-plan-approval-alabama-infrastructure-requirements-for-the-2012-pm25-national-ambient-air-quality","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2017-13671?publication_date=2017-06-29","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2017-06-29/2017-13671/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":10,"page_views":{"count":137,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 12:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-06-29/pdf/2017-13671.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2017-13671.pdf?1498653982","publication_date":"2017-06-29","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2017/06/29/2017-13671.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Final AL Network Plan Response 11-19-15","document_id":"EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0208-0006"},{"title":"AL EOY 14","document_id":"EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0208-0005"},{"title":"AL-PM2-5 and NO2 110","document_id":"EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0208-0004"},{"title":"AL PM2.5 iSIP submittal","document_id":"EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0208-0003"},{"title":"AL PM2.5 iSIP Letter to Regional Administrator","document_id":"EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0208-0002"}],"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-R04-OAR-2016-0208","supporting_documents_count":5,"docket_id":"EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0208","document_id":"EPA-R04-OAR-2016-0208-0001","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Alabama; 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS Infrastructure SIP","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2023-03-01T08:09:00Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":29448,"subtype":null,"title":"Air Plan Approval; Alabama: Infrastructure Requirements for the 2012 PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standard","toc_doc":"Alabama: Infrastructure Requirements for the 2012 PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standard","toc_subject":"Air Quality State Implementation Plans; Approvals and Promulgations:","topics":["Air pollution control","Environmental protection","Incorporation by reference","Intergovernmental relations","Particulate matter","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Volatile organic compounds"],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":82}
