Dear Mr. Blumenfeld: 

Edmund G. Brown Jr. 

Governor 

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 amended and adopted rules of the Imperial County Air Pollution 

Control District (District). 

The Air Resources Board (ARB) Executive Order S-14-001 adopting the District's rules 

as revisions to the SIP is also enclosed. The District is authorized to adopt and enforce 

the rules by California Health and Safety Code (H&SC) section 40001. ARB is 

authorized to adopt the rules as revisions to the SIP by H&SC sections 39601, 39602, 

and 41650 through 41652. Enclosure A lists the specific rules that were adopted or 

amended by the District and that have been adopted as revisions to the SIP by ARB 

through Executive Order S-14-001. 

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 an 

evaluation 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 

District. We have made every reasonable effort to obtain from the District all 

documentation necessary to comply with U.S. EPA's SIP Completeness Policy. 

We understand that, according to section 11 O(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 adequ<;~tely complete to 

The energy challenge facing California is real. Every Californian needs to take immediate action to reduce energy consumption.
