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 (SIP). The revisions concern a rule from the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (SDCAPCD): Rule 67.10, Kelp Processing and Bio-Polymer Manufacturing Operations. 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 began on April 15, 1996. This action will defer the imposition of the offsets sanction and defer the imposition of the highway sanction. 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 rule taking into consideration any comments received.
