Dear Ms. Yoshii: 

The Air Resources Board (ARB) is submitting to the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (U.S. EPA) the adopted Revision to California's 2007 State Implementation 

Plan (SIP) Reflecting Implementation of the 2007 State Strategy. This revision is 

intended to meet U.S. EPA's requests for additional information to aid its approval of 

California's 2007 SIP submitted on November 16, 2007. 

This reVision updates portions of the 2007 SIP to account for emission reductions from 

regulations adopted in 2007 and 2008 and clarifies ARB's legal commitment in-light of 

U.S. EPA's three-part approval criteria for SIPs that rely on enforceable commitments. 

It does not change the emission reductions of oxides of nitrogen, reactive organic 

gases, oxides of sulfur, and direct PM2.5 that the Board committed to achieve by 

specific years when it adopted the 2007 State Strategy. 

This submittal includes two hard copies and two electronic copies of the following 

materials. 

1. .The Status Report on the State Strategy for California's 2007 State /mplementation

to the 2007 State Strategy.
