18 CFR Part 12
Safety of Water Power Projects and
Project Works
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is taking final action to
approve a state implementation plan
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of
California to meet Clean Air Act (CAA
or ‘‘Act’’) requirements applicable to the
Owens Valley PM10 nonattainment area
(NA). The Owens Valley PM10 NA is
classified as a ‘‘Serious’’ nonattainment
area for the national ambient air quality
standards (NAAQS) for particulate
matter of ten microns or less (PM10). The
submitted SIP revision is the ‘‘Great
Basin Unified Air Pollution Control
District 2016 Owens Valley Planning
Area PM10 State Implementation Plan’’
(‘‘2016 PM10 Plan’’ or ‘‘Plan’’). The
State’s obligation to submit the 2016
PM10 Plan was triggered by the EPA’s
2007 finding that the Owens Valley
PM10 NA had failed to meet its
December 31, 2006, deadline to attain
the PM10 NAAQS. The CAA requires a
Serious PM10 nonattainment area that
fails to meet its attainment deadline to
submit a plan providing for attainment
of the PM10 NAAQS and for an annual
reduction in PM10 emissions of not less
than five percent until attainment of the
PM10 NAAQS. The EPA is approving the
2016 PM10 Plan because it meets all
relevant statutory and regulatory
requirements.
SUMMARY:
DATES:
This rule is effective on April 12,
2017.

I. Summary of Proposed Action
On December 12, 2016, the EPA
proposed to approve the Owens Valley
2016 PM10 Plan, which the State of
California submitted on June 9, 2016, as
meeting all relevant statutory and
regulatory requirements under the
CAA.1 As discussed in our proposed
rule, the Owens Valley PM10 NA is a
Serious PM10 nonattainment area that is
located in the southern portion of the
Owens Valley in Inyo County,
California.2
California’s obligation to submit the
2016 PM10 Plan was triggered by the
EPA’s June 6, 2007 finding that the
Owens Valley PM10 NA had failed to
meet its December 31, 2006 deadline to
attain the PM10 NAAQS.3 The CAA
requires a Serious PM10 NA that fails to
meet its attainment deadline to submit
a plan providing for attainment of the
PM10 NAAQS and for an annual
emission reduction in PM10 or PM10
precursors of not less than five percent
per year until attainment. Our December
12, 2016 proposed rule provides the
background and rationale for this action.
II. Public Comments and the EPA’s
Response to Comments
The EPA provided a 30-day public
comment period on our proposed
action. The comment period ended on
January 11, 2017. We received two
public comment letters: One from the
Timbisha Shoshone Tribe and one from
the Big Pine Paiute Tribe of the Owens
Valley. The submitted comment letters,
which we have summarized and
responded to below, are in our docket.
Comment 1: The Timbisha Shoshone
Tribe expressed its support for our
approval of the 2016 PM10 Plan.
Response 1: The EPA appreciates the
Timbisha Shoshone Tribe’s support of
our approval.
Comment 2: The Big Pine Paiute
Tribe’s (‘‘Tribe’’) comment letter
acknowledged the effectiveness of the

nonattainment area is defined in 40 CFR 81.305 as
