I. Comment Period Extension
On June 27, 2023, the Commission
announced and made public its notice
of proposed rulemaking regarding the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Coverage, Exemption,
and Transmittal Rules (‘‘HSR Form
Change’’), including its request for
public comment on all aspects of the
proposed rule. The NPRM was
subsequently published in the Federal
Register, with August 28, 2023,
established as the deadline for the
submission of comments. See 88 FR
42178 (June 29, 2023).
Interested parties have requested an
extension of the public comment period
to give them additional time to respond
to the NPRM’s request for comment.
While the Commission believes that the
current 60-day period—which is 62
days after public release of the notice of
proposed rulemaking—is sufficient for
meaningful comment and public
participation, the Commission agrees to
allow the public additional time to
prepare and file comments. The
Commission therefore extends the
comment period to September 27, 2023,
to provide commenters a total of 92 days
from the public release of the NPRM on
June 27, 2023. This is a 30-day
extension of the 60-day comment period
from publication in the Federal Register
on June 29, 2023.
II. Request for Comment
You can file a comment online or on
paper. For the Commission to consider
your comment, we must receive it on or
before September 27, 2023. Write ‘‘16
CFR parts 801–803—Hart-Scott-Rodino
Coverage, Exemption, and Transmittal
Rules, Project No. P239300’’ on your
comment. Your comment—including
your name and your state—will be
placed on the public record of this
proceeding, including, to the extent
practicable, on the https://
www.regulations.gov website.
Because of the agency’s security
screening, postal mail addressed to the
Commission will be subject to delay. We
strongly encourage you to submit your
comment online through https://

Commission considers your online
comment, please follow the instructions
on the web-based form.
If you file your comment on paper,
write ‘‘16 CFR parts 801–803—HartScott-Rodino Coverage, Exemption, and

including, in particular, competitively

Comments containing material for
which confidential treatment is
requested must be filed in paper form,
must be clearly labeled ‘‘Confidential,’’

Environmental Protection

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve
State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revisions to the San Joaquin Valley Air
Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD)
portion of the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP). The
revisions were submitted by the
California Air Resources Board (CARB),
on behalf of SJVAPCD, in response to
EPA’s May 22, 2015, finding of
substantial inadequacy and SIP call for
certain provisions in the SIP related to
exemptions and affirmative defenses
applicable to excess emissions during
startup, shutdown, and malfunction
(SSM) events. EPA is proposing
approval of the SIP revisions because
the Agency has determined that they are
in accordance with the requirements for
SIP provisions under the Clean Air Act
(CAA or the Act).
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before September 11, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

I. Background
On February 22, 2013, the EPA issued
a Federal Register notice of proposed
rulemaking outlining EPA’s policy at
the time with respect to SIP provisions
related to periods of SSM. EPA analyzed
specific SSM SIP provisions and
explained how each one either did or
did not comply with the CAA with
regard to excess emission events.1 For
each SIP provision that EPA determined
to be inconsistent with the CAA, EPA
proposed to find that the existing SIP
provision was substantially inadequate
to meet CAA requirements and thus
proposed to issue a SIP call under CAA
section 110(k)(5). On September 17,
2014, EPA issued a document
supplementing and revising what the
Agency had previously proposed on
February 22, 2013, in light of a D.C.
Circuit decision that determined the

Petition for Rulemaking; Findings of Substantial
Inadequacy; and SIP Calls to Amend Provisions
Applying to Excess Emissions During Periods of

CAA precludes authority of the EPA to
create affirmative defense provisions
applicable to private civil suits. EPA
outlined its updated policy that
affirmative defense SIP provisions are
not consistent with CAA requirements.
EPA proposed in the supplemental
proposal document to apply its revised
interpretation of the CAA to specific
affirmative defense SIP provisions and
proposed SIP calls for those provisions
where appropriate (79 FR 55920,
September 17, 2014).
On June 12, 2015, pursuant to CAA
section 110(k)(5), EPA finalized ‘‘State
Implementation Plans: Response to
Petition for Rulemaking; Restatement
and Update of EPA’s SSM Policy
Applicable to SIPs; Findings of
Substantial Inadequacy; and SIP Calls to
Amend Provisions Applying to Excess
Emissions During Periods of Startup,
Shutdown and Malfunction,’’ (80 FR
33839, June 12, 2015), hereafter referred
to as the ‘‘2015 SSM SIP Action.’’ The
2015 SSM SIP Action clarified, restated,
and updated EPA’s interpretation that
SSM exemption and affirmative defense
SIP provisions are inconsistent with
CAA requirements. The 2015 SSM SIP
Action found that certain SIP provisions
in 36 states were substantially
inadequate to meet CAA requirements
and issued a SIP call to those states to
submit SIP revisions to address the
inadequacies. EPA established an 18month deadline by which the affected
states had to submit such SIP revisions.
States were required to submit
corrective revisions to their SIPs in
response to the SIP calls by November
22, 2016.
EPA issued a Memorandum in
October 2020 (2020 Memorandum),
which stated that certain provisions
governing SSM periods in SIPs could be
viewed as consistent with CAA
requirements.2 Importantly, the 2020
Memorandum stated that it ‘‘did not
alter in any way the determinations
made in the 2015 SSM SIP Action that
identified specific state SIP provisions
that were substantially inadequate to
meet the requirements of the Act.’’
Accordingly, the 2020 Memorandum
had no direct impact on the SIP call
issued to SJVAPCD in 2015. The 2020
Memorandum did, however, indicate
EPA’s intent at the time to review SIP
calls that were issued in the 2015 SSM
SIP Action to determine whether EPA
should maintain, modify, or withdraw
2 October 9, 2020 memorandum ‘‘Inclusion of
Provisions Governing Periods of Startup,
Shutdown, and Malfunctions in State
Implementation Plans,’’ from Andrew R. Wheeler,
Administrator.
