Ifapproved bythe Board, ARB will submit the 2013 1-hourOzone Plan to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) as a revision to the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). DATE: November21,2013 TIME: 9:00 a.m. PLACE: California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Byron SherAuditorium 1001 I Street Sacramento, CA 95814 This itemmay be considered at atwo-day meeting ofthe Board in Sacramento, which will commence at 9:00a.m., November 21, 2013 and may continue at 8:30a.m., on November22, 2013. This item may not be considered until November22, 2013. Please consult the agenda for the meeting, which will be available at least 10 days before November21, 2013, to determinethe day on which this item will be considered. BACKGROUND The Clean AirAct (CAA) establishes planning requirements for areas that exceed the health-based NationalAmbientAir Quality Standards (NAAQS or standard). These nonattainment areas must develop and implement a SIP that demonstrates howthey will attain the standard by specified CAA deadlines. The U.S. EPA promulgated a 0.12 partsper million (ppm) 1-hourozone standard and classified the San Joaquin Valley as a serious nonattainment area. Dueto the severity ofthe air quality problem, the San Joaquin Valleywas later reclassified as "extreme" nonattainment with a 2010 attainment date. In 2005, the U.S. EPA revoked the 1-hourozone standard to pursue a more health-protective 8-hour ozone standard. Subsequent litigation reinstated

. portions ofthe implementation requirements underthe revoked standard, and EPAwithdrew approval ofthe District's 2004 extreme ozone plan. The District's 2013 1-hour Ozone Plan is intended to meetthose requirements by demonstrating attainment ofthe standard by 2017. The 2013 1-hourOzone Plan demonstrates attainment by relying on emission reductions from previous SIPs, as well as reductions from adopted ARB and District programs. It also includes a comprehensive emission inventory, an assessment ofreasonably available control measures and technologies, a rate ofprogress demonstration, identification ofcontingency measures, and provisions for clean fuels and clean technologies for boilers. The 2013 1-hourOzone Plan also includes a vehicle milestraveled emission offset demonstration, which applies to areas classified as severe orextreme nonattainment of the NAAQS for both the 1-hourand 8-hourozonestandards. PROPOSED ACTION ARB staff has reviewedthe locally adopted 2013 1-hour Ozone Plan and concluded that it meets the applicable requirements ofthe CAA. ARB staff recommends thatthe Board approve the 2013 1-hour Ozone Plan as a revision to the California SIP. AVAILABILITY OF DOCUMENTS ARB staffwill present a written Staff Report priorto the meeting.
