FR 89870. On February 13, 2017, Vistra Energy submitted a petition requesting that the EPA reconsider and stay the effective date of the EPAs nonattainment designations for portions of Freestone and Anderson Counties, Rusk and Panola Counties, and Titus County.

The TCEQ also submitted a petition for reconsideration of the nonattainment designations on December 11, 2017. The EPA has denied these petitions in letters to the petitioners for the reasons that the EPA
explains in those documents.

Out of an abundance of caution for members of the public and our staff, the EPA is temporarily suspending the Docket Center and Reading Room for public visitors to reduce the risk of transmitting COVID19. Our Docket Center staff will continue to provide remote customer service via email, phone, and webform. For further information and updates on EPA Docket Center services, please visit us online at https www.epa.gov/dockets. The EPA
continues to carefully and continuously monitor information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, local area health departments, and our federal partners so we can respond rapidly as conditions change regarding COVID19.
In addition, the EPA has established a website for SO2 designations rulemakings at: https www.epa.gov/
sulfur-dioxide-designations. This Federal Register notice, the petitions for reconsideration and administrative stay, and the response letters denying the petitions are also available on this website along with other information.
III. Judicial Review Section 307b1 of the CAA governs judicial review of final actions by the EPA. This section provides, in part, that petitions for review must be filed in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit: i When the agency action consists of nationally applicable regulations promulgated, or final actions taken, by the Administrator, or ii when such action is locally or regionally applicable, if such action is based on a determination of nationwide scope or effect and if in taking such action the Administrator finds and publishes that such action is based on such a determination. For locally or regionally applicable final actions, the CAA
reserves to the EPA complete discretion whether to invoke the exception in ii.
