I don’t have direct access to specific book descriptions from the Code of Federal Regulations. However, I can provide a general overview of what Title 40 CFR sections 52.2020 to the end of Part 52 typically cover under “Protection of the Environment.”
Title 40 CFR Part 52 generally pertains to the approval and promulgation of implementation plans for states under the Clean Air Act. Here are some key aspects that may be included in sections 52.2020 to the end of Part 52:
- State Implementation Plans (SIPs): Regulations related to the development, submission, approval, and implementation of state plans to achieve and maintain compliance with national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). Each state’s SIP includes specific measures and strategies to control air pollution and meet federal air quality requirements.
- Emission Standards: Requirements for states to adopt and enforce emission standards and control measures for stationary and mobile sources of air pollutants. These standards are designed to reduce emissions of criteria pollutants (e.g., particulate matter, ozone, carbon monoxide) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) to protect public health and the environment.
- Transportation Conformity: Regulations governing transportation conformity determinations to ensure that transportation activities, such as highway and transit projects, comply with SIP requirements and do not worsen air quality in areas designated as non-attainment or maintenance for NAAQS.
- Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs): Procedures for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop and implement federal plans in states that fail to submit or adequately implement SIPs. FIPs outline measures and controls necessary to achieve and maintain air quality standards in these areas
