**Dear Mr.** **Corey: Larry** **Greene AIR** **POLLUTION CONTROL** **OFFICER**

**The air**  **districts that**  **comprise the**  **Sacramento Federal**  **Nonattainment Area**  **(SFNA) 1**  **reviewed the**  **Sacramento Regional**  **8-Hour Ozone**  **Attainment and**  **Reasonable Further**  **Progress Plan**  **(Plan) in**  **light of**  **CARS's updated**  **on-road and**  **off-road mobile**  **source emissions**  **inventory. Our**  **review determined**  **that a**  **technical update**  **was required**  **to address**  **these developments. Based**  **on changes**  **in the**  **emission inventories,**  **this Plan**  **revision updates**  **the Reasonable**  **Further Progress**  **(RFP) and**  **attainment demonstrations,**  **updates the**  **control measure**  **commitments and**  **sets new**  **Motor Vehicle**  **Emission Budgets**  **(MVEBs) for**  **transportation conformity**  **purposes. In**  **addition, the**  **Plan provides**  **a Vehicle**  **Miles Traveled**  **(VMT) offset**  **demonstration based**  **on new**  **U.S. EPA**  **guidance on**  **the Clean**  **Air Act**  **(CAA) VMT**  **offset requirement**  **(CAA Section**  **1 82(d)(1** **)(A)). Revisions**  **to local**  **control measure**  **commitments were**  **also made**  **which included**  **updating adoption**  **schedules, removing**  **measures where** **the commitment**  **has been** **fulfilled and**  **updating the**  **emission reduction**  **estimates. A**  **detailed explanation**  **of SIP**  **related impacts**  **are outlined**  **in the** **accompanying attachments.**  **The Board**  **of Directors**  **of the**  **Sacramento Metropolitan**  **Air Quality**  **Management District**  **(SMAQMD) held**  **a public**  **hearing on**  **behalf of**  **all five**  **air districts**  **in the**  **SFNA.
