ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R04-OAR-2017-0365; FRL-9965-29-Region 4]
Air Plan Approval; Kentucky; Revisions to Louisville; Definitions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On August 29, 2012, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, through the
Kentucky Division for Air Quality (KDAQ), submitted changes to the
Kentucky State Implementation Plan (SIP) on behalf of the Louisville
Metro Air Pollution Control District (District). The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a portion of the
submission that modifies the District's air quality regulations as
incorporated into the SIP. Specifically, the revisions pertain to
definitional changes, including the modification of the definition of
``volatile organic compounds''. EPA is proposing to approve this
portion of the SIP revision because the Commonwealth has demonstrated
that these changes are consistent with the Clean Air Act. EPA will act
on the other portion of KDAQ's August 29, 2012, submittal in a separate
action.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before August 28, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
OAR-2017-0365 at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. EPA may publish any comment
received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of
the primary submission (i.e. on the Web, cloud, or other file sharing
system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA public comment
policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, and general
guidance on making effective comments, please visit http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules Section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP revision 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 adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse 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 on this document.
Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at
this time.
Dated: July 11, 2017.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4.
