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 include a rule from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD): SCAQMD Rule 1153, Commercial Bakery Ovens. Based on the proposed full approval, EPA is making an interim final determination by this action that the State has corrected the deficiency for which sanctions clocks were activated on September 29, 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 deficiency that started the sanctions clocks by publishing a final action in the Federal Register. If comments are received on EPA's proposed approval and this interim final action, EPA will publish a final action taking into consideration any comments received.
