Air Plan Revisions; California; Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District; Imperial County Air Pollution Control District; Correcting Amendments
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to correct sections in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), erroneously caused by administrative oversight, to reflect the current status of conditional approval provisions in the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These corrections concern Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District's (AVAQMD's) reasonably available control technology (RACT) SIP demonstration requirements for the 1997 and 2008 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and Imperial County Air Pollution Control District's (ICAPCD's) RACT SIP demonstration requirements for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS.
Determination To Defer Sanctions; California; California Air Resources Board
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making an interim final determination that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has submitted a rule and other materials that correct deficiencies in its Clean Air Act (CAA or ``Act'') state implementation plan (SIP) provisions concerning emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from vapor recovery systems of gasoline cargo tanks. This determination is based on a proposed approval, published elsewhere in this Federal Register, of CARB's California Code of Regulations, Title 17, Division 3, Chapter 1, Subchapter 8, Article 1, Section 94014 (``Section 94014'') which regulates this source category. The effect of this interim final determination is that the imposition of sanctions that were triggered by a previous limited disapproval by the EPA in 2022 is now deferred. If the EPA finalizes its approval of CARB's submission, relief from these sanctions will become permanent.
