Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to approve and conditionally approve revisions to the State of California's State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) area. The revisions consist of an update to the Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets ("budgets") for nitrogen oxides (NO<INF>X</INF>) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for the 1997 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS or "standard") for the SJV ozone nonattainment area and for NO<INF>X</INF> and coarse particulate matter (PM<INF>10</INF>) for the 1987 24-hour PM<INF>10</INF> standard for the SJV PM<INF>10</INF> maintenance area. The EPA is approving the SJV ozone revised budgets and conditionally approving the PM<INF>10</INF> budgets in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA or "Act") and the EPA's regulations.
