Air Plan Approval; Wisconsin; VOC RACT for Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives and Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions related to the volatile organic compound (VOC) reasonably available control technology (RACT), submitted by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (``Wisconsin'' or ``WDNR'') on June 28, 2022. The proposed SIP revisions consist of several additions, corrections, and clarifications within the Wisconsin Administrative Code (WAC) NR 400 series and update the VOC RACT requirements for the Miscellaneous Industrial Adhesives and Miscellaneous Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) source categories. Also, EPA is proposing to approve Wisconsin's August 10, 2022, request to remove three previously approved Administrative Orders from the SIP. The request to remove these Administrative Orders includes a 110(l) demonstration highlighting that the revisions to Wisconsin's rules do not interfere with any applicable requirement concerning attainment or any other applicable requirement of the Clean Air Act (CAA) because this SIP revision is a direct replacement for the previously approved orders. These SIP revisions apply to nonattainment areas in Wisconsin classified as moderate or above under the 2008 or later ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (``NAAQS'' or ``standard''). These revisions are consistent with the CTG documents issued by EPA in 2008 and are approvable because they serve as SIP strengthening measures.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the California State Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning the provisions for clean fuels or advanced control technology for boilers for the 2015 ozone national ambient air quality standards (``2015 ozone NAAQS'') in the San Joaquin Valley and Los AngelesSouth Coast Air Basin, California (``South Coast'') ozone nonattainment areas. The SIP revisions include the ``Certification that the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District's Current Rules Address the Clean Air Act's Clean Fuels for Boilers Requirements for the 2015 8-hour Ozone Standard'' for San Joaquin Valley (``2021 San Joaquin Valley Certification'') and the ``Clean Fuels for Boilers Compliance Demonstration for the South Coast Air Basin'' for South Coast (``2021 South Coast Certification''), both submitted on August 3, 2021. We are proposing to approve these revisions under the Clean Air Act (CAA or ``the Act''), which establishes clean fuels or advanced control technology for boilers requirements for ``Extreme'' ozone nonattainment areas.

Air Plan Approval and Limited Approval-Limited Disapproval; California; Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District; Stationary Source Permits; New Source Review
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing approval, and a limited approval and limited disapproval of a revision to the Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District (AVAQMD or ``District'') portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). The EPA is proposing to take action on nine rules submitted on August 3, 2021. We are proposing approval of three rules, and limited approval and limited disapproval of six rules. These revisions concern the District's New Source Review (NSR) permitting program for new and modified sources of air pollution under part D of title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA or ``Act''). If finalized, this action will update the AVAQMD's current SIP with nine revised rules. We are taking comments on this proposal and plan to follow with a final action.
Air Plan Approval; California; San Diego County Air Pollution Control District; Oxides of Nitrogen
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a revision to the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (SDCAPCD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOX) from boilers, process heaters, and steam generators.

We are taking comments on this proposal and plan to follow with a final action.
Air Plan Approval; Ohio; Redesignation of the Ohio portion of the Cincinnati, Ohio-Kentucky Area to Attainment of the 2015 Ozone Standard; Correction
This action corrects an error in a table posted in the June 9, 2022, rule redesignating the Ohio portion of the Cincinnati, Ohio- Kentucky area to attainment of the 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The table contained motor vehicle emissions budgets (Budgets) for volatile organic compounds (VOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOX) for the Ohio portion of the Cincinnati OH-KY area. The Budgets table in that action conflicts with the Budgets submitted by Ohio and set forth in the proposed rule. Therefore, EPA is correcting the erroneous table.
