Abstract
EPA is approving certain provisions in the state implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of California. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted these provisions on November 15, 1994, as part of ``The 1994 California State Implementation Plan for Ozone.'' The portions of the SIP approved today are commitments by the CARB to adopt regulations for various mobile source and consumer product categories by particular dates to achieve specific emission reductions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NO<INF>X) in order to attain the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for ozone. The effect of EPA's approval of these commitments is to incorporate the commitments into the federally approved SIP. EPA is approving the commitments under provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA or ``the Act'') regarding EPA actions on SIP submittals and general rulemaking authority because these revisions strengthen the SIP.
