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

Rule 9610 provides an administrative mechanism for the S an Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (District) to take credit for incent ive-based emission reductions in the San Joaquin Valley (Valley) from incentive programs administered in the Valley by the District, the California Air Resources Boar d, or the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Re source Conservation Service. Thes e incentive-based emission reductions satisfy the SIP-creditability criteria of being Su rplus, Quantifiable, Enforceable, and Permanent.

Pollutant(s) Regulated by the Rule (Check): ROG (NOx) SO2 (CO) PM TAC (name):

VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN

No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainment

Discussion: In individual state implement ation plans (SIP)s, the District may i dentify specific amounts of SIP-creditable emission reductions (if any) for a particular year or years to be used to satisfy Clean Air Act (CAA) SIP requirements, including, but not limited to, demonstration of attainment, reasonable further progress, rate of progress, contingency measures, and “black box” reductions. This enforceable SIP co mmitment would identify incentive program guidelines to be used and identify an amount of emission reductions not to exceed the amount project ed to be achieved through the use of secured or reasonably anticipated incentive program funding as well as the estimated availability of emission reductions projects and willing participants, based on historical participation and estimates of remaining equipment. The

commitment for incentive-based emission reductions would be accounted for in subsequent annual demonstration reports as SIP-creditable emission reductions are claimed through Rule 9610. If either the District or EPA finds that there is a SIP shortfall for a particular year, the District will adopt and submit to EPA, by specifi ed dates, substitute rules or measures that will achieve equivalent emission reductions as ex peditiously as practicable and no later than any applicable implementation deadline in the CAA or other EPA implementing regulations.
