Abstract

This rule amends the requirements that states must meet to obtain EPA approval of their plans for protection of visibility in mandatory Class I Federal areas (Class I areas). The EPA proposes to revise the due dates for state implementation plans (SIPs) and progress reports, to remove the requirement for progress reports to be implementation plan revisions, to clarify some aspects of the requirements for the content of progress reports, and to update and simplify the provisions for reasonably attributable visibility impairment and extend these provisions to all states.
