Finding of Substantial Inadequacy of 

Implementation Plan; Call for 

California State Implementation Plan 

Revision; South Coast; Reopening of 

Comment Period 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: EPA is reopening the public 

comment period for a proposal 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 19, 2012. In that action, in 

response to a remand by the Ninth 

Circuit Court of Appeals, and pursuant 

to the Clean Air Act, EPA proposed to 

find that the California State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) for the Los 

Angeles-South Coast Air Basin (South 

Coast) is substantially inadequate to 

comply with the obligation to adopt and 

implement a plan providing for 

attainment of the 1-hour ozone 

standard. If EPA finalizes this proposed 

finding of substantial inadequacy as 

proposed, California would be required 

revise its SIP to correct these 

deficiencies within 12 months of the 

effective date of our final rule. Two 

commentors requested an extension of 

the comment period for this proposed 

rulemaking. EPA is now reopening the 

public comment period. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

proposed rule published on September 

19, 2012 (77 FR 58072) is reopened.
