Air Plan Approval; Idaho: Inspection and Maintenance Program Removal
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve revisions to the Idaho State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of Idaho (Idaho or the State) on December 29, 2022. The proposed revision, applicable in the Boise-Northern Ada County Carbon Monoxide area (Northern Ada County CO area) in Idaho, removes the Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) program, which was previously approved into the SIP for use as a control measure in the State's plan to address motor vehicle emissions in the nonattainment area. The SIP submission includes a demonstration that the requested revision will not interfere with attainment or maintenance of any national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) or with any other applicable requirement of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). The EPA evaluated whether this SIP revision would interfere with the requirements of the CAA and is proposing to determine that Idaho's December 29, 2022, SIP revision is consistent with the applicable portions of the CAA.

Second 10-Year Maintenance Plan for the Coso Junction PM-10 Planning Area; California
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve the ``Coso Junction PM10 Planning Area Second 10- Year Maintenance Plan'' (``Coso Junction Second Maintenance Plan'' or ``Plan'') as a revision to the state implementation plan (SIP) for the State of California. The Coso Junction Second Maintenance Plan includes, among other elements, a base year emissions inventory, a maintenance demonstration, and contingency provisions. The EPA is proposing this action because the SIP revision meets the applicable statutory and regulatory requirements for such plans. The EPA is also proposing to find the contribution of motor vehicles to the area's continued attainment of the 1987 PM10 standard to be insignificant and is initiating the adequacy review process for this insignificance finding through this Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM). If this insignificance finding is finalized, the area would not have to complete a regional emissions analysis for any transportation conformity determinations necessary for the Coso Junction Planning Area (CJPA).
Notice of Approval Status; Certifying Authorities' Amended Plans for Certification of Commercial and Private Applicators of Restricted Use Pesticides; Batch Two
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing its approval of twelve amended certification plans for certifying applicators of Restricted Use Pesticides (RUPs) from the following certifying authorities: Arizona Department of Agriculture (AZDA), Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (CTDEEP), Delaware Department of Agriculture (DDA), District of Columbia Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE), Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA), Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce (MDAC), New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets and Food (NHDAFM), New Jersey Department of Agriculture (NJDEP), Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDA), Office of the Indiana State Chemist (OISC), South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (SDDANR), and Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA). The amended plans are consistent with the existing regulatory requirements, including revisions made in 2017 to enhance and improve the competency of certified applicators of RUPs and persons working under their direct supervision. The 2017 regulatory revisions are intended to further reduce potential exposure of RUPs to certified applicators and those working under their direct supervision, other workers, the public, and the environment. Federal, state, territory, and tribal certifying authorities with existing certification plans were required to revise their existing plans to conform with the updated federal standards for RUP applicator certification and receive EPA approval by the established regulatory deadline.
