Air Plan Approval; Wyoming; Interstate Transport of Air Pollution for the 2015 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards
Document Number: 2023-27754
Type: Rule
Date: 2023-12-19
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing approval of the portion of a Wyoming State Implementation Plan (SIP) submission addressing interstate transport for the 2015 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The ``good neighbor'' or ``interstate transport'' provision requires that each state's SIP contain adequate provisions to prohibit emissions from within the state from significantly contributing to nonattainment or interfering with maintenance of the NAAQS in other states. This requirement is part of the broader set of ``infrastructure'' requirements, which are designed to ensure that the structural components of each state's air quality management program are adequate to meet the state's responsibilities under the Clean Air Act (CAA).
Air Quality Implementation Plans; California; San Diego County; 2008 and 2015 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area Requirements
Document Number: 2023-27513
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2023-12-19
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve portions of two state implementation plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of California to meet Clean Air Act requirements for the 2008 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or ``standards'') and the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS in the San Diego County ozone nonattainment area (``San Diego County area'' or ``area''). The first SIP revision, ``2020 Plan for Attaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Ozone in San Diego County'' (``2020 San Diego County Ozone SIP'' or ``2020 Plan''), addresses most of the SIP requirements for the area. The second SIP revision, referred to as the ``Smog Check Certification,'' supplements the motor vehicle inspection and maintenance program portion of the 2020 Plan. The EPA is proposing to approve the 2020 Plan, and the San Diego County portion of the Smog Check Certification, as meeting all the applicable ozone nonattainment area requirements for the 2008 and 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS addressed by the plan except for the emissions statement requirement that the EPA previously found to have been met and the contingency measure requirements, for which the EPA is deferring action.
