Air Plan Approval; Arkansas; Codification of the State
Implementation Plan
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act), the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving revisions to the
Arkansas State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Arkansas
Department of Energy and Environment (ADEE) to the EPA on February 4,
2025. The revisions address the codification of the Arkansas Pollution
Control and Ecology Commission (APC & EC) Rule 19 and Regulations 9,
26, and 31 into the Code of Arkansas Rules (CAR). The revisions are
non-substantive formatting edits and do not relax or introduce new
rules to the approved SIP.
DATES: This rule is effective on February 25, 2026.

Docket ID No. EPA-R06-OAR-2025-0015. All documents in the docket are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' means the EPA.
I. Background
The background for this action is discussed in detail in our August
28, 2025, proposal (90 FR 41930) and the accompanying Technical Support
Document (TSD), available in the docket for this rule. In our August
2025 proposal we proposed to approve the revisions to the Arkansas
State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by ADEE to the EPA on
February 4, 2025, for the codification of the APC & EC Rule 19 and
Regulations 9, 26, and 31 into the CAR.
The comment period on our August 2025 proposal closed on September
29, 2025. We received one anonymous comment on our proposal. The
submitted comment is available for review in the docket for this
rulemaking. Our response to the comment is provided in Section II of
this rulemaking.
II. Response to Comments
Comment: The commenter asks that the EPA should not approve the
Arkansas SIP and should require the state to adopt the more stringent
emissions control such as those adopted in the state of California.
Response: The EPA disagrees with the commenter. The EPA must adhere
to its obligation under section 110(k) to approve, disapprove,
conditionally approve, in whole or in part, the codification of SIP in
the state submittal at issue. The requirement of adopting more
stringent emissions controls is not relevant nor relates to the subject
matter raised in this rulemaking action and is thus outside the scope
for this current action for EPA to address.
III. Final Action
We are approving the revisions to Arkansas SIP submitted to EPA on
February 4, 2025. The revisions codify the corresponding rules and
regulations in the Arkansas SIP. We are approving this SIP submission
in accordance with
[[Page 3038]]
the requirements of section 110 of the Act and EPA's regulations.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference the
revisions to the Arkansas regulations as described in Section III of
this preamble, Final Action. The EPA has made, and will continue to
make, these materials generally available through <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>
(please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section of this preamble for more information). Therefore,
these materials have been approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP,
have been incorporated by reference by EPA into that plan, are fully
federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the
effective date of the final rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be
incorporated by reference in the next update to the SIP compilation.
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
<bullet> Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
<bullet> Is not subject to Executive Order 14192 (90 FR 9065,
February 6, 2025) because SIP actions are exempt from review under
Executive Order 12866;
<bullet> Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
<bullet> Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
<bullet> Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
<bullet> Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
<bullet> Is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because it approves a state program;
<bullet> Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and
<bullet> Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act.
In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).
This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and the EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ``major
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by March 27, 2026. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
