Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve, under the Clean Air Act (CAA), a request submitted by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) on December 18, 2020, to revise the Michigan State Implementation Plan (SIP). EGLE's submittal addresses the emissions inventory and emissions statement requirements for the Allegan County, Berrien County, Detroit (Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne Counties) and Muskegon County nonattainment areas under the 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS or standard). The CAA requires states to develop and submit, as SIP revisions, emission inventories for all ozone nonattainment areas. In this action, EPA is proposing to approve EGLE's emissions inventories for the Allegan County, Berrien County, and Muskegon County nonattainment areas under the 2015 ozone NAAQS and the removal of the repealed Act 348, Section 14a. EPA approved the portions of EGLE's December 18, 2020, submittal pertaining to the certification of EGLE's stationary annual emissions statement regulation and emissions inventories for the Detroit nonattainment area under the 2015 ozone NAAQS in a separate action on July 6, 2022.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve, under the Clean Air Act (CAA), a request submitted by the
Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) on
December 18, 2020, to revise the Michigan State Implementation Plan
(SIP). EGLE's submittal addresses the emissions inventory and emissions
statement requirements for the Allegan County, Berrien County, Detroit
(Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne
Counties) and Muskegon County nonattainment areas under the 2015 ozone
National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS or standard). The CAA
requires states to develop and submit, as SIP revisions, emission
inventories for all ozone nonattainment areas. In this action, EPA is
proposing to approve EGLE's emissions inventories for the Allegan
County, Berrien County, and Muskegon County nonattainment areas under
the 2015 ozone NAAQS and the removal of the repealed Act 348, Section
14a. EPA approved the portions of EGLE's December 18, 2020, submittal
pertaining to the certification of EGLE's stationary annual emissions
statement regulation and emissions inventories for the Detroit
nonattainment area under the 2015 ozone NAAQS in a separate action on
July 6, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received in response to this
rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives such
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public
comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on
this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this
time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For
additional information, see the direct final rule which is located in
the Rules section of this Federal Register.
