Summary

EPA is taking final action to approve revisions to the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD or “District”) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from wood products coating operations and organic solvent degreasing operations. We are approving local rules to regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act). We are also approving revisions to a definitions rule. Finally, we are converting the partial conditional approval of the District's reasonably available control technology (RACT) SIPs for the 1997 and 2008 ozone standards, as it applies to VOC emissions from wood products coating operations and organic solvent degreasing operations, to a full approval.

Dates

This rule will be effective on August 1, 2019.
