SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of Final Action

The EPA approved eleven Requests for Coverage under the CA-GDF
General Permit \1\ submitted by the Permittees. The Requests for
Coverage under the CA-GDF General Permit were approved on the dates
listed in Table 1. These approvals pertain to the construction and
operation of the Sources, all of which are gasoline dispensing
facilities, located or to be located in Indian country in California.
The EPA issued the approvals pursuant to the provisions of Clean Air
Act sections 110(a) and 301(d) and the EPA's Tribal Minor NSR Program
at 40 CFR 49.151-49.164. The EPA based its approvals on its
determinations that the Sources met the criteria qualifying them for
coverage and that the Sources were eligible for coverage under the CA-
GDF General Permit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ The CA-GDF General Permit was issued by the EPA under the
Tribal Minor NSR Program on May 1, 2019, and the permit became
effective June 12, 2019. 84 FR 20879 (May 13, 2019). This permit is
available on <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a> under Docket ID EPA-R09-
OAR-2016-0580.
\2\ On July 31, 2025, the EPA issued a minor NSR permit to Agua
Caliente Fuel Rancho Mirage (formerly the Agua Caliente Tribal
Corporation Gasoline Dispensing Facility). This permit allows for
increased fuel throughout at Agua Caliente Fuel Rancho Mirage. As a
result, Agua Caliente Fuel Rancho Mirage no longer qualifies for
coverage under the CA-GDF General Permit. See Docket ID EPA-R09-OAR-
2024-0455 at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>.
\3\ On May 31, 2022, the EPA issued an amended approval to the
Soboba Economic Development Corporation's Request for Coverage for
Roadrunner Express (formerly the Soboba Economic Development
Corporation Gasoline Dispensing Facility), submitted on February 10,
2022 (Application #2022-004-AA). See Docket ID EPA-R09-OAR-2022-0288
at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>.

Agua Caliente Tribal Corporation's Request for Coverage for Agua
Caliente Fuel Cathedral City, submitted on July 17, 2025
