California State Implementation Plan Revision; Interim Final Determination That State Has Corrected Deficiencies

Elsewhere in today's Federal Register, EPA has published a notice of proposed rulemaking fully approving revisions to the California State Implementation Plan. The revisions concern rules from the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (SDCAPCD) and the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD): SDCAPCD Rule 61.1, Receiving and Storing Volatile Organic Compounds at Bulk Plants and Bulk Terminals; and SJVUAPCD Rule 4403, Components Serving Light Crude Oil or Gases at Light Crude Oil and Gas Production Facilities and Components at Natural Gas Processing Facilities. Based on the proposed full approval, EPA is making an interim final determination by this action that the State has corrected the deficiencies for which sanctions clocks were activated on September 30, 1993. This action will defer the application of the offset sanctions and defer the application of the highway sanctions. Although the interim final action is effective upon publication, EPA will take comment. If no comments are received on EPA's proposed approval of the State's submittal, EPA will finalize its determination that the State has corrected the deficiencies that started the sanctions clocks by publishing a notice of final rulemaking in the Federal Register. If comments are received on EPA's proposed approval and this interim final action, EPA will publish a final notice taking into consideration any comments received.
