OAR 340-228 APPENDIX A: WEB MODEL RULE MONITORING PROTOCOLS: -Protocol WEB-1: SO2 Monitoring of Fuel Gas Combustion Devices:
Air Quality Monitoring A comprehensive air quality monitoring plan, intended to meet the requirements of 40 CFR part 58, was submitted by DEQ on December 27, 1979 (40 CFR 52.1970) and was approved by the EPA on March 4, 1981 (46 FR 15136). This air quality monitoring plan has been subsequently updated, with the most recent submittal dated July 1, 2012 and approved by the EPA on October 25. 2012. This plan includes, among other things, the locations for the SO2 monitoring network. Oregon provides an annual air quality data report to the public on the DEQ website at http://www.deq.state.or.us/aq/forms/annrpt.htm .

§110(a)(2)(C) Program to enforce control measures, regulate modification & construction of stationary sources and a permit program | include a program to provide for the enforcement of the measures described in subparagraph (A) and regulation of the modification and construction of any stationary source within the areas covered by the plan as necessary to assure that national ambient air quality standards are achieved, including a permit program as required in parts C and D of this subchapter; | Two elements identified in section 110(a)(2) include requirements that are not governed by the 3-year submission deadline of section 110(a)(1). The requirements pertain to part D, of title I of the CAA, which addresses plan requirements for nonattainment areas. Therefore, the following section 110(a)(2) elements are considered by EPA to be outside the scope of infrastructure SIP actions: (1) section 110(a)(2)(C) to the extent it refers to permit programs (known as "nonattainment new source review") required under part D; and (2) section 110(a)(2)(I) in its entirety. EPA does not expect infrastructure SIP submittals to include regulations or emission limits developed specifically for attaining the relevant standard. Those submittals are due at the time the nonattainment area planning requirements are due (18 months following designation).

| CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) Interstate Transport as it relates to significant contribution to nonattainment and interference with maintenance:
In accordance with the panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit opinion, the EPA at this time is not treating the 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) SIP submission from the State of Oregon as a required SIP submission. See EME Homer City generation, L.P. v. EPA, 696 F .3d 7. Unless the EME Homer City decision is reversed or otherwise modified by the Supreme Court, states are not required to submit 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) SIPs until the EPA has quantified their obligations under that section. The portions of the SIP submission relating to 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) and 110(a)(2)(D)(ii), in contrast, are required and therefore, the State of Oregon is submitting for purposes of 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) and 110(a)(2)(D)(ii) below.

There are three parts to this element: enforcement, PSD program, and minor NSR program. You do not need to address the nonattainment NSR portion of this element. It is not in the scope of infrastructure SIPs.
Kristin Hall, 2013-05-02T13:42:00Z
Part C is PSD, Part D is nonattainment. Since your rules are in one section, you can probably just leave your reference to OAR 340-224.
Kristin Hall, 2013-05-02T13:44:00Z
You can leave this line, and just reference the Homer decision here – see comment 55.
Kristin Hall, 2013-04-22T17:26:00Z
Until EPA quantifies Oregon’s obligation, you are not required to submit anything for 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) at this time. So – do not include this sub-element in your infrastructure SIP draft at this time. The finding of failure to submit for 2008 Pb NAAQS for Oregon did not include 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). You also don’t need to submit for 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for NO2 or SO2 at this time – because EPA has not yet quantified any state’s obligation, per the court decision.
See U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit opinion - See EME Homer City generation, L.P. v. EPA, 696 F .3d 7 Unless the EME Homer City decision is reversed or otherwise modified by the Supreme Court, states are not required to submit 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) SIPs until the EPA has quantified their obligations under that section. The portions of the SIP submission relating to 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) and 110(a)(2)(D)(ii), in contrast, are required.
Kristin Hall, 2013-07-09T12:52:00Z
Make sure to point to provisions that address the three sub-elements: (i) installation, maintenance, and replacement of equipment, and implementation of other steps to monitor emissions from sources (ii) periodic reports on emissions and data from sources and (iii) correlation of such reports by the state agency with any emission limits or standards – which reports shall be available to the public…
Kristin Hall, 2013-04-22T17:26:00Z
Remove all of element 110(a)(2)(I) – You do not need to submit anything for this element – it relates to nonattainment requirements which are on a difference schedule from infrastructure SIPs.
Kristin Hall, 2013-07-09T12:56:00Z
You could also reference public notice provisions for permitting, and the information that the state regularly provides on the website (monitoring network plan, annual air quality monitoring data summaries.
Kristin Hall, 2013-07-09T12:56:00Z
Remove – not part of an infrastructure SIP. You do not need to address the visibility portion of this element in your submittal. (But you do need to address the interstate transport visibility sub-element at 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II).)
Kristin Hall, 2013-07-09T12:56:00Z
I think you can strike it – you can read our previous infrastructure actions where we say that we don’t think the visibility element of 110(a)(2)(J) is triggered by a NAAQS change – 77 FR 6044.
