The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a state implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of California and Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District (GBUAPCD or "District") to meet Clean Air Act (CAA or "Act") requirements applicable to the Owens Valley PM<INF>10</INF> nonattainment area (NA). The Owens Valley PM<INF>10</INF> NA is located in the southern portion of the Owens Valley in Inyo County, California. It is classified as a Serious nonattainment area for the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter of ten microns or less (PM<INF>10</INF>). The submitted SIP revision is the "Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District 2016 Owens Valley Planning Area PM<INF>10</INF> State Implementation Plan" ("2016 PM<INF>10</INF> Plan" or "Plan"). The GBUAPCD's obligation to submit the 2016 PM<INF>10</INF> Plan was triggered by the EPA's 2007 finding that the Owens Valley PM<INF>10</INF> NA had failed to meet its December 31, 2006, deadline to attain the PM<INF>10</INF> NAAQS. The CAA requires a Serious PM<INF>10</INF> nonattainment area that fails to meet its attainment deadline to submit a plan providing for attainment of the PM<INF>10</INF> NAAQS and for an annual emission reduction in PM<INF>10</INF> of not less than five percent until attainment of the PM<INF>10</INF> NAAQS. The EPA is proposing to approve the 2016 PM<INF>10</INF> Plan as meeting all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements.
