The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to reclassify the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) Moderate nonattainment area, including areas of Indian country within it, as a Serious nonattainment area for the 1997 PM2.5 national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) based on EPA's determination that the area cannot practicably attain these NAAQS by the applicable attainment date of April 5, 2015. Upon final reclassification as a Serious area, California will be required to submit a Serious area plan including a demonstration that the plan provides for attainment of the 1997 annual and 24-hour PM2.5 standards in the SJV area by the applicable attainment date, which is no later than December 31, 2015, or by the most expeditious alternative date practicable, in accordance with the requirements of part D of title I of the Clean Air Act.

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of Iowa
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the State of Iowa. The purpose of these revisions is to update the Polk County Board of Health Rules and Regulations, Chapter V, Air Pollution. These proposed revisions reflect updates to the Iowa statewide rules previously approved by EPA and will ensure consistency between the applicable local agency rules and Federally-approved rules. On April 15, 2014, the state amended their request and notified EPA that it is withdrawing their requests to approve to adopt greenhouse gases definition and sections relating to greenhouse gas emissions. This withdrawal request is in recognition of the July 12, 2013, U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia decision which vacated the regulation known as the ``biogenic deferral rule''. On October 31, 2014, the state requested that EPA withdraw their request to approve the definition of anaerobic lagoon.
