Title: Implementing Regulations Under 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart Ba Adoption and Submittal of State Plans for Designated Facilities | |
Abstract:
The Clean Air Act (CAA) section 111(d) directs the EPA to promulgate a procedure “similar” to that provided by CAA section 110, under which states submit 111(d) plans for regulatory implementation to the EPA. In 1975, EPA addressed this requirement by promulgating “implementing regulations” under 40 CFR part 60, subpart B. These implementing regulations contain, among other things, deadlines for the submission of, and for EPA’s action on, “state plans,” as well as deadlines for the promulgation of related “federal plans.” In 2019 the EPA finalized 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ba, a new subpart that updated the implementing regulations for prospective emission guidelines. However, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (in American Lung Association v. EPA, No. 19-1140) vacated the subpart Ba State and Federal plan timelines due to a finding of inadequate justification. This action will amend the timelines in subpart Ba consistent with the court vacatur, and will include additional provisions providing tools to the EPA and states to aid in implementation of emission guidelines. |
