[EPA-R09-OAR-2015-0608; FRL-9934-51-Region 9]


Designation for Planning Purposes; California; PM10; Technical 
Amendment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making a 
technical amendment to the Code of Federal Regulations to restore the 
inadvertent deletion of the entry for ``Rest of State'' from the table 
listing California air quality planning area designations for 
particulate matter of ten microns of less (PM10).

DATES: This technical amendment is effective on September 22, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerry Wamsley, EPA Region IX, (415) 
947-4111, wamsley.jerry@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 19, 2013, the EPA published a 
direct final rule amending 40 CFR 81.305 to clarify the description of 
the Imperial Valley planning area, an area designated nonattainment for 
the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for particulate 
matter of ten microns of less (PM10) (78 FR 16792). In our 
March 19, 2013 direct final rule, we amended the entry for ``Imperial 
Valley planning area'' but did not intend to amend any other entry in 
the table listing PM10 air quality planning area 
designations for the State of California. We believe, however, that the 
entry appearing directly after the entry for ``Imperial Valley planning 
area'' in the ``California-PM-10'' table and reading ``Rest of State; 
11/15/90; Unclassifiable'' was deleted inadvertently when the entry for 
``Imperial Valley planning area'' was amended. For example, see and 
compare the ``California-PM-10'' table within the July 1, 2012 version 
to the July 1, 2013 version of 40 CFR 81.305.
    Consequently, the EPA is publishing this technical amendment to 
restore the ``Rest of State'' designation entry within

[[Page 57101]]

the 40 CFR 81.305 ``California-PM-10'' table as it appeared prior to 
our March 19, 2013 direct final action.
