Narrative Summary of New Rule or Rule Changes: New Rule Amended Rule

Rules 203.1, 203.2, 213, 213.1, 213.2, and 213.3 were superceded by the te rms of Regulation XIII as adopted

7/21/80 and its subsequent incorporation into the St ate Implementation Plan (47 FR 25013 06/09/82, 40 CFR

52.220(c)(87)(iv)). Despite their i napplicability these Rules were never officially rescinded from the MDAQMD

rulebook. This is a procedural acti on to remove superceded rules from t he MDAQMD rulebook. This action will

clarify the rulebook and avoid confusion with Regulation XIII – New Source Review. Please note, Regulation XIII

was most recently amended and SIP approved in 1996. The current version of Regulation XIII in the SIP is

03/25/96 (61 FR 58133; 40 CFR 52.220(c)(239)(i)(A)(1)).

EPA has informed the MDAQMD that all rules in the re scission action are in the SIP (see attached email).The

MDAQMD is requesting that Rules 213, 213.1, and 213.2 be removed from the SIP for the San Bernardino and

Riverside County portions of the District pursuant to http://www.epa.gov/region09/air/sips. The MDAQMD is

uncertain of the SIP status of Ru les 203.1, 203.2, and 213.3 in the San Be rnardino and Riverside County portions

of the District (see attached table). The MDAQMD is requesting EPA determine if these rules are in the SIP for

either county portion of the District, and if so, remove these rules from the SIP. If these rules are not in the SIP,

the MDAQMD requests that this deter mination is stated in the EPA Evaluat ion and Action for clarification (as

stated in 64 FR 25828 for similar SCAQMD resci ssion action) to avoid further confusion.
