Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; California State Implementation Plan Revision, South Coast Air Quality Management District

EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the California State Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone. The revision concerns the control of oxides of nitrogen (NO X) and oxides of sulfur (SO X) emissions using an emissions-limiting economic incentive program (EIP), the NO X and SO X Regional Clean Air Incentives Market (NO X/SO X RECLAIM). This program, which consists of twelve rules and associated appendices known as Regulation XX, applies to facilities in the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) with four or more tons of NO X or SO X emissions per year from permitted equipment. The subject facilities, in order to meet annual emission reduction requirements, will participate in an EIP in order to reduce emissions at a significantly lower cost. The intended effect of proposing approval of this rule is to regulate emissions of NO X in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). EPA's final action on this notice of proposed rulemaking will incorporate this rule into the federally approved SIP. EPA has evaluated this rule and is proposing to approve it under provisions of the CAA regarding EPA actions on SIP submittals, SIPs
