Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning 

the base year emission inventories (EIs) 

for four areas designated as 

nonattainment areas for the 2008 ozone 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(2008 ozone NAAQS). The subject areas

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document, ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us’’ 

and ‘‘our’’ refer to the EPA. This 

proposal addresses base year EIs for the 

Calaveras County, Chico (Butte County), 

San Francisco Bay Area and San Luis 

Obispo (Eastern San Luis Obispo) 2008 

ozone NAAQS nonattainment areas. We 

are approving these base year EIs in a 

direct final action without prior 

proposal because we believe these SIP 

revisions are not controversial. If we 

receive adverse comments, however, we 

will publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule and address the 

comments in subsequent action based 

on this proposed rule. Please note that 

if we receive adverse comment on a 

particular base year EI, we may adopt as 

final those that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. 

We do not plan to open a second 

comment period, so anyone interested 

in commenting should do so at this 

time. If we do not receive adverse 

comments, no further activity is 

planned. For further information, please 

see the direct final action. 

Dated: September 28, 2016.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
