Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; California State Implementation Plan Revision, Five Local Air Pollution Control Districts

EPA is taking direct final action on revisions to the California State Implementation Plan. The revisions concern rules from the following: El Dorado County Air Pollution Control District (EDCAPCD), Kern County Air Pollution Control District (KCAPCD), Placer County Air Pollution Control District (PCAPCD), Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (SBCAPCD), and South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). These new and revised rules control VOC emissions from graphic arts operations. 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). In addition, the final action on the SBCAPCD rule serves as a final determination that the finding of nonsubmittal for this rule has been corrected and that on the effective date of this action, the Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) clocks is stopped. Thus, EPA is finalizing the approval of these revisions 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.
