Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Indiana; Volatile Organic Compound Automobile Refinishing Rules for Indiana
On June 5, 2009, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) submitted amendments to Indiana's automobile refinishing rule for approval into its State Implementation Plan (SIP). These rule revisions extend the applicability of Indiana's approved volatile organic compound (VOC) automobile refinishing rules to all persons in Indiana who sell or manufacture automobile refinishing coatings or who refinish motor vehicles. The rules are approvable because they are consistent with the Clean Air Act (Act) and EPA regulations, and should result in additional VOC emission reductions throughout Indiana.
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Arkansas; Redesignation of the Crittenden County, Arkansas Portion of the Memphis, Tennessee-Arkansas 1997 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area to Attainment
On February 24, 2009, the State of Arkansas, through the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), submitted a request to redesignate the Arkansas portion of the bi-state Memphis, Tennessee-Arkansas (Memphis TN-AR) 1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment area to attainment for the 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS); and to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision containing a maintenance plan for the Arkansas portion of the bi-state Memphis TN-AR Area. The bi-state Memphis TN-AR 1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment area is composed of Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee (Shelby County) and Crittenden County, Arkansas. In this action, EPA proposes to approve the 1997 8-hour ozone redesignation request for Crittenden County, Arkansas. Additionally, EPA proposes to approve the 1997 8-hour ozone maintenance plan for Crittenden County, including the state motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs) for nitrogen oxides (NOX) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for the years 2006 and 2021. This proposed approval of Arkansas' redesignation request is based on EPA's determination that Arkansas has demonstrated that Crittenden County has met the criteria for redesignation to attainment specified in the Clean Air Act (CAA), including the determination that the entire Memphis TN- AR ozone nonattainment area has attained the 1997 8-hour ozone standard.
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District
EPA is finalizing a limited approval and limited disapproval of revisions to the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). This action was proposed in the Federal Register on July 14, 2009 and concerns volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from confined animal facilities, such as dairies, cattle feedlots, and poultry and swine houses. Under the authority of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act), this action simultaneously approves a local rule that regulates these emission sources and directs California to correct rule deficiencies.
