Abstract
Due to adverse comments, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is withdrawing the direct final rule for "Approval of Nebraska Air Quality Implementation Plans; Adoption of a New Chapter Under the Nebraska Administrative Code" published in the Federal Register on October 5, 2017. Nebraska's SIP revision added a new chapter titled "Visibility Protection" which provides Nebraska authority to implement Federal regulations relating to Regional Haze and Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART). The new chapter incorporates by reference EPA's Guidelines for BART Determinations under the Regional Haze Rule. The revision to the SIP meets the visibility component of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
