Dear Mr. Nastri: 

Gray Davis 

Governor 

Enclosed are revisions to the State of California Implementation Plan for Achieving and 

Maintaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (SIP). Two compact discs and 

two paper copies, each containing the revisions in their entirety, are enclosed. These 

revisions consist of adopted and amended rules of the following air quality management 

and air pollution control districts (districts): 

Bay Area Air Quality Management District 

Lake County Air Quality Management District 

Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District 

Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District 

South Coast Air Quality Management District 

Also enclosed is Air Resources Board (ARB) Executive Order G 125-298 adopting the 

districts' rules as revisions to the SIP. The districts are authorized to adopt and enforce 

the rules by California Health and Safety Code section 40001. ARB is authorized to 

adopt the rules as revisions to the SIP by Health and Safety Code sections 39601, 

39602, and 41650 through 41652. Enclosure A lists the specific rules that were 

adopted or amended by the districts and that have been adopted as revisions to the SIP 

by ARB through Executive Order G 125-298. 

To meet the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) criteria for 

determining that rule submittals are administratively and technically complete, we have 

enclosed evaluations of the effects of the rules on emissions, evaluations of the rules' 

consistency with 40 CFR 51, and other supporting documentation provided to us to date 

by the districts. We have made every reasonable effort to obtain from the districts all 

documentation necessary to comply with U.S. EPA's SIP Completeness Policy. 

We understand that, according to section 11 O(k)(1 )(B) of the federal Clean Air Act, 

U.S. EPA will determine within 60 days of the Administrator's receipt of a SIP revision, 

but no later than six months after the date by which the State is required to submit the 

revision, whether the rule packages within the revision are adequately complete to 

The energy challenge facing California is real. Every Californian needs to take immediate action to reduce energy consumption. 

For a list of simple ways you can reduce demand and cut your energy costs, see our Web-site at www.arb.ca.gov.

review for approvability. ARB staff may receive additional supporting documentation 

from the districts within the next few months. We will, of course, forward those 

additional materials to you.

Mr. Jorge Fernandez at (916) 324-7659, or if I may be of assistance, contact me at
