The SIP submission also addresses other applicable requirements for the second implementation period of the regional haze program. The EPA is taking this action pursuant to sections 110 and 169A of the Clean Air Act.

This source monitoring SIP revision provides monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements to ensure that certain sources comply with applicable emissions limitations. This action is being taken in accordance with the Clean Air Act.
Attainment Date Extension for the San Joaquin Valley, California 1997 Annual PM2.5 Fine Particulate Matter Nonattainment Area
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to grant a one-year extension of the applicable "Serious" attainment date for the 1997 annual fine particulate matter (PM2.5) San Joaquin Valley, California nonattainment area.

The EPA is proposing to grant a one-year extension of the Serious attainment date from December 31, 2023, to December 31, 2024, in accordance with section 172(a)(2)(C) of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment Florida Trustee Implementation Group Final Restoration Plan 3 and Environmental Assessment: Water Quality and Finding of No Significant Impact
The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) natural resource Trustees for the Florida Trustee Implementation Group (Florida TIG) have prepared the Final Restoration Plan 3 and Environmental Assessment: Water Quality (Final RP3/EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The Final RP3/EA proposes alternatives to help restore water quality impacted by the DWH oil spill. The Final RP3/EA evaluates a reasonable range of thirteen project alternatives under the Oil Pollution Act (OPA), including criteria set forth in the OPA natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) regulations, and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and its implementing regulations. A no action alternative is also evaluated pursuant to the NEPA. In the Final RP3/EA the Florida TIG selects eleven project alternatives under the Water Quality Restoration Type for funding and implementation. The total estimated cost to implement the selected projects is approximately $111.5 million. The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of the availability of the Final RP3/EA and FONSI.
Clean Air Plans; 1997 Fine Particulate Matter Nonattainment Area Requirements; San Joaquin Valley, California
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or "Agency") is proposing to approve through parallel processing a state implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of California to meet Clean Air Act (CAA or "Act") requirements for the 1997 fine particulate matter (PM2.5) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or "standards") in the San Joaquin Valley "Serious" nonattainment area. Specifically, the EPA proposes to approve through parallel processing the "Amendments to the 15 [micro]g/m\3\ SIP Revision and Agricultural Equipment Incentive Measure for the 1997 PM2.5 Standard" ("15 [micro]g/m\3\ Plan Amendments"), which revises the State's aggregate tonnage commitment made for the purpose of attaining the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS, amends an existing SIP measure related to certain state mobile source incentive funding programs, and demonstrates that those programs under the SIP-approved measure have achieved specified amounts of reductions in emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and PM2.5 in the San Joaquin Valley area in the year 2023. If finalized, the effect of this action would be to approve these amounts of emissions reductions for credit toward the emissions reduction commitment in the California SIP.
