Thus, EPAs air quality and emissions analyses indicate that emissions from Connecticut will not significantly contribute to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2015 ozone NAAQS in any other state in 2021.

instructions listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this Federal Register document.

As discussed in Section II, Connecticut concluded that it has met its good neighbor obligations for the 2015 ozone NAAQS based on existing control measures that are in place. EPA
conducted an independent analysis for the analytic year 2021 based on more recent data and updated modeling.
EPAs evaluation of measured and monitored data, including interpolating values to generate a reasonable expectation of air quality and contribution values in 2021, is discussed in Section III. Based on the updated modeling and analysis, EPA
concluded that emissions from sources in the state will not contribute significantly to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2015
ozone NAAQS in any other state. This conclusion remains true for later modeled years 2023 and 2028 in the updated modeling EPA is relying on.
Therefore, we propose to approve the Connecticut submission as meeting the requirements of CAA section 110a2DiI.
EPA is soliciting public comments on this document. These comments will be considered before taking final action.
Interested parties may participate in the Federal rulemaking procedure by submitting written comments to this proposed rule by following the
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. 7410k;
40 CFR 52.02a. Thus, in reviewing SIP
submissions, EPAs role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this proposed 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 proposed action:
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993 and 13563 76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011;
Does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.;
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.;
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. 1044;
Does not have federalism implications as specified in Executive
28 The annual emissions data for the years 2011
through 2019 were obtained from EPAs National Emissions Inventory website: https www.epa.gov/
air-emissions-inventories/air-pollutant-emissions-

trends-data. Note that emissions from miscellaneous sources are not included in the state totals. The emissions for 2021 and 2023 are based on the 2016 emissions modeling platform. See

Order 13132 64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999;
Is not an economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997;
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to Executive Order 13211 66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001;
Is not subject to requirements of section 12d 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;
and Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under Executive Order 12898
59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994.
In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction.
