SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is reopening the
comment period for a proposed revision to the Michigan State
Implementation Plan (SIP) published September 18, 2020. Sierra Club
requested additional time to provide comments; therefore, EPA is
reopening the comment period for 28 days from the close of the previous
comment period.
DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule published on September
18, 2020 (85 FR 58315), is reopened. Comments must be received on or

submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and

generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 18, 2020 (85 FR 58315), EPA
proposed to partially approve and partially disapprove a revision to
the Michigan SIP for attaining the 2010 1-hour primary sulfur dioxide
(SO2) national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for the
Detroit SO2 nonattainment area. This SIP revision includes
Michigan's attainment demonstration and other elements required under
the Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA proposed to approve the base year
emissions inventory, and to affirm that the nonattainment new source
review requirements for the area have been met. EPA proposed to
disapprove the attainment demonstration, as well as the requirements
for meeting reasonable further progress toward attainment of the NAAQS,
reasonably available control measures and reasonably available control
technology, and contingency measures. Finally, EPA proposed to
disapprove the plan's control measures for two facilities as not
demonstrating attainment, and proposed to approve the enforceable
control measures for two facilities as SIP strengthening. The comment
period closed on October 19, 2020. On October 9, 2020, EPA received a
request from the Sierra Club to extend the comment period for four
weeks from the end of the comment period.
Dated: November 2, 2020.
Kurt Thiede,
Regional Administrator, Region 5.
