Proclamation·Jun 12, 2026
Rule — Partial Withdrawals of Findings of Failure To Submit State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revisions To Amend Provisions Applying to Excess Emissions During Periods of Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is partially withdrawing two final actions finding that 13 States and/or local air pollution control agencies failed to submit State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions to address the Agency's 2015 findings of substantial inadequacy and "SIP call" for provisions applying to excess emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM). The partial withdrawal affects six air pollution control agencies. Withdrawing relevant parts of the findings for failure to submit is consistent with the decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit Court (D.C. Circuit) partially vacating the findings of substantial inadequacy and SIP call. This final action renders no longer applicable certain CAA deadlines for the EPA to impose sanctions if a State does not submit a complete SIP revision addressing the outstanding requirements, and to promulgate a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP).

Proclamation·Jun 11, 2026
Rule — Finding of Failure To Attain the 2006 24-Hour PM2.5 Standards; California; San Joaquin Valley; Error Correction
In response to a court decision, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is correcting our July 22, 2020 final action erroneously granting a Clean Air Act (CAA) section 188(e) attainment date extension for the 2006 24-hour fine particulate matter (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or "standards") in the San Joaquin Valley from December 31, 2019, to December 31, 2024, and is now denying California's extension request. The EPA is also finalizing our determination that the San Joaquin Valley nonattainment area failed to attain the 2006 24-hour PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS by the December 31, 2019 unextended attainment date. This determination is based on monitored air quality data from 2017 through 2019. As a result of this final determination, the State of California will be required to submit a revision to the California state implementation plan (SIP) that, among other elements, provides for expeditious attainment of the 2006 24-hour PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS and for a five percent annual reduction in emissions of direct PM<INF>2.5</INF> or a PM<INF>2.5</INF> plan precursor pollutant.
