Abstract
EPA is finalizing the approval of revisions to the California State Implementation Plan (SIP) proposed in the Federal Register on December 17, 1993. The revisions concern rules from the following districts: The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD). This approval action will incorporate these rules into the federally approved SIP. The intended effect of approving these rules is to regulate emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). The rules control VOC emissions from leaking valves and connectors at petroleum refinery complexes, chemical plants, bulk plants, and bulk terminals (BAAQMD Rule 8-18); and fugitive emissions from petroleum refineries and chemical plants (VCAPCD Rule 74.7). Thus, EPA is finalizing the approval of these rules into the California SIP under provisions of the CAA regarding EPA action on SIP submittals, SIPs for national primary and secondary ambient air quality standards and plan requirements for nonattainment areas.
