Mr. Jared Blumenfeld, Administrator 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

Region 9

San Francisco, California 94105 

Dear Mr. Blumenfeld: 

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): 

Feather River Air Quality Management District 

Placer County Air Pollution Control District 

San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District 

South Coast Air Quality Management District 

Ventura County Air Pollution Control District 

Also enclosed is the Air Resources Board (ARB) Executive Order S-09-013 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 

section 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 S-09-013. 

To meet the U.S. 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. 

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 website: http://www.arb.ca.gov.

We understand that, according to section 11 0(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 

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. 

If you have any questions or would like to discuss these SI P revisions, please contact 

Mr. Jorge Fernandez, Chief, Program Evaluation Branch at (916) 445-7800. 

Sincerely,
