In connection with the reclassification, EPA is proposing to establish a deadline of no later than 12 months from the effective date of reclassification for submittal of revisions to the Eastern Kern portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP) to meet certain additional requirements for Serious ozone nonattainment areas. EPA has already received SIP revision submittals addressing most of the additional SIP requirements.
