40 CFR Part 81

[EPA-R09-OAR-2008-0467; FRL-9925-57-Region 9]


Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; 
California; San Joaquin Valley, South Coast Air Basin, Coachella 
Valley, and Sacramento Metro Ozone Nonattainment Areas; 
Reclassification

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is withdrawing a 
proposed action to reclassify the Indian country pertaining to the 
Pechanga Band of Luise[ntilde]o Mission Indians (Pechanga Reservation) 
from ``Severe-17'' to ``Extreme'' for the 1997 8-hour ozone national 
ambient air quality standard.

DATES: The proposed rule published on August 27, 2009 (74 FR 43654) is 
withdrawn with respect to the Pechanga Reservation on April 3, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken Israels, Grants and Program 
Integration Office (AIR-8), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Region IX, (415) 947-4102, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 27, 2009 (74 FR 43654), the EPA 
published a proposed rule to grant requests by the State of California 
to reclassify four nonattainment areas for the 1997 8-hour ozone 
national ambient air quality standard (``standard'') and to reclassify 
Indian country in keeping with the classifications of nonattainment 
areas within which they

[[Page 18185]]

are located. On May 5, 2010 (75 FR 24409), the EPA finalized the action 
as proposed except that EPA deferred reclassification of Indian country 
pertaining to the Morongo Band of Mission Indians (Morongo Reservation) 
and the Pechanga Band of Luise[ntilde]o Mission Indians (Pechanga 
Reservation) in keeping with the state's request for the South Coast 
Air Basin. On January 6, 2015 (80 FR 436), the EPA proposed to revise 
the boundaries of South Coast and San Diego ozone planning areas to 
designate the Pechanga Reservation as a separate air quality planning 
area for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard. In the January 6, 2015 
proposed rule, the EPA indicated that, if the Agency finalizes the 
January 6, 2015 proposed rule, as proposed, the EPA would withdraw the 
August 27, 2009 proposed rule to the extent that the 2009 proposed rule 
relates to the Pechanga Reservation. See 80 FR 436, at 438 (January 6, 
2015). In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, 
the EPA is finalizing its January 6, 2015 proposed rule, as proposed. 
In light of final Agency action on the January 6, 2015 proposal, the 
EPA is withdrawing the August 27, 2009 proposed reclassification of the 
Pechanga Reservation for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard.
