Title: Excess Emissions During Periods of Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction; Partial Withdrawals of Findings of Failure to Submit State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
Abstract:

In this final action, the Administrator is partially withdrawing two of the Agency’s previous findings of failure to submit as a result of a 2024 D.C. Circuit Court decision. See, Environ. Comm. Fl. Elec. Power v. EPA, 94 F.4th 77 (D.C. Cir. 2024). The previous findings, made in January 2022 and April 2023, found that multiple states failed to submit State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions in a timely manner, as required by the Clean Air Act, in response to the 2015 findings of substantial inadequacy for SIP provisions applying to excess emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction. This withdrawal action will ensure that findings of failure to submit apply in a manner consistent with the 2024 D.C. Circuit decision.
