Dear Mr. Blumenfeld: 

The Air Resources Board (ARB) hereby transmits to the United States Environmental 

Protection Agency an Amendment to the San Joaquin Valley 2008 PM2.5 Plan 

(Amendment) as a revision to the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). 

This Amendment extends the rulemaking schedule for the San Joaq~nin Valley Air 

Pollution Control District's (District) comrrlitment to address natural-gas fired, fan-type 

residential central furnace emissions, identified as Control Measure S-COM-10 in the 

2008 PM2.5 Plan (Plan). The additional time for rule development is necessary to 

assist with the development of new advanced control technologies for residential 

furnaces. Since the Plan does not include quantified emission reduction commitments 

from this rule, there is no impact on the attainment and reasonable further progress 

demonstrations in the Plan. 

This package consists of two hardcopies and one electronic copy of the following 

materials. 

I. June 28, 201 0, letter from Mr. Samir Sheik, Director of Strategies and Incentives 

for the District, to Mr. James N. Goldstene, ARB Executive Officer, transmitting:
