Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans; California State

Implementation Plan Revision, Placer

County Air Pollution Control District

and San Diego County Air Pollution

Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing the approval

of revisions to the California State

Implementation Plan (SIP) proposed in

the Federal Register on January 10,

1995. The revisions concern rules from

the Placer County Air Pollution Control

District (PCAPCD) and the San Diego

County Air Pollution Control District

(SDCAPCD). This approval action will

incorporate these rules into the federally

approved SIP. The intended effect of

approving these rules is to regulate

emissions of volatile organic

compounds (VOCs) in accordance with

the requirements of the Clean Air Act,

as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

The revised rules control VOC

emissions from metal can and coil

coating operations and establish

recordkeeping requirements for sources

emitting VOCs. Thus, EPA is finalizing

the approval of these revisions to the

California SIP under provisions of the

CAA regarding EPA action on SIP

submittals, SIPs for national primary

and secondary ambient air quality

standards and plan requirements for

nonattainment areas.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This action is effective

on April 24, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the rules and

EPA’s evaluation report for each rule are

available for public inspection at EPA’s

Region IX office during normal business

hours. Copies of the submitted rules are

available for inspection at the following

locations:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On January 10, 1995 in 60 FR 2563,

EPA proposed to approve the following

rules into the California SIP: PCAPCD’s

Rule 223, Metal Container Coating;

PCAPCD Rule 410, Recordkeeping for

Volatile Organic Compound Emissions;

and SDCAPCD Rule 67.4, Metal

Container, Metal Closure, and Metal

Coil Coating Operations. Rules 223 and

410 were adopted by PCAPCD on

October 6, 1994 and November 3, 1994,

respectively. Rule 67.4 was adopted by

SDCAPCD on September 27, 1994. The

rules were submitted by the State of

California to EPA on November 30,
15242 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 56 / Thursday, March 23, 1995 / Rules and Regulations

1994, December 19, 1994, and October

19, 1994, respectively. These rules were

submitted in response to EPA’s 1988

SIP-Call and the CAA section

182(a)(2)(A) requirement that

nonattainment areas fix their reasonably

available control technology (RACT)

rules for ozone in accordance with EPA

guidance that interpreted the

requirements of the pre-amendment Act.

A detailed discussion of the background

for each of the above rules and

nonattainment areas is provided in the

NPRM cited above.

EPA has evaluated all of the above

rules for consistency with the

requirements of the CAA and EPA

regulations and EPA interpretation of

these requirements as expressed in the

various EPA policy guidance documents

referenced in the NPRM cited above.

EPA has found that the rules meet the

applicable EPA requirements. A

detailed discussion of the rule

provisions and evaluations has been

provided in 60 FR 2563 and in technical

support documents (TSDs) available at

EPA’s Region IX office (TSDs dated

December 27, 1994, PCAPCD Rule 223;

December 27, 1994, PCAPCD Rule 410;

and December 27, 1994, SDCAPCD Rule

67.4).

Response to Public Comments

A 30-day public comment period was

provided in 60 FR 2563. EPA received

one comment letter from NAPP

Systems, Inc. supporting EPA’s

proposed approval of SDCAPCD Rule

67.4.

EPA Action

EPA is finalizing action to approve

the above rules for inclusion into the

California SIP. EPA is approving the

submittal under section 110(k)(3) as

meeting the requirements of section

110(a) and Part D of the CAA. This

approval action will incorporate these

rules into the federally approved SIP.

The intended effect of approving these

rules is to regulate emissions of VOCs in

accordance with the requirements of the

CAA.

Nothing in this action should be

construed as permitting or allowing or

establishing a precedent for any future

request for revision to any state

implementation plan. Each request for

revision to the state implementation

plan shall be considered separately in

light of specific technical, economic,

and environmental factors and in

relation to relevant statutory and

regulatory requirements.

Regulatory Process

The OMB has exempted this action

from review under Executive Order

12866.

Control of Air Pollution From New

Motor Vehicles and New Motor Vehicle

Engines: Regulations Requiring OnBoard Diagnostic (OBD) Systems—

Acceptance of Revised California OBD

II Requirements; OBD Relief for

Alternative Fueled Vehicles; and

Revisions for Consistency Between

Federal OBD and California OBD II

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

SUMMARY: This direct final rulemaking

revises requirements associated with onboard diagnostic (OBD) systems. The

federal OBD rulemaking, published

February 19, 1993, allowed for

compliance with California OBD II

requirements as satisfying federal OBD

requirements through the 1998 model

year, an allowance of which most

original equipment automobile

manufacturers intend to take advantage.

The California Air Resources Board has

recently revised their OBD II

requirements. The federal OBD

regulations require appropriate

revisions such that compliance with the

recently revised OBD II requirements

will satisfy federal OBD. Additionally,

aspects of the federal OBD requirements

will be revised and updated, in some

cases to maintain consistency with the

OBD II provisions, including providing

OBD relief for alternative fueled

vehicles, and in some cases to clarify

federal OBD provisions. Finally,

consistent with an order from the Court

of Appeals for the District of Columbia,

the federal regulations are being revised

to delete a requirement that

manufacturers include certain features

to deter tampering on affected vehicles.

DATES: This final action will become

effective on May 22, 1995 unless notice

is received by April 24, 1995 that any

person wishes to submit adverse

comments. Should EPA receive such

notice, EPA will publish subsequent

action in the Federal Register

withdrawing all or part of this final

action.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be submitted (in duplicate if possible)
