Description

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to correct a previous final action that erroneously granted an attainment date extension for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 standards in the San Joaquin Valley from December 31, 2019, to December 31, 2024. The EPA now proposes to deny California's extension request and determine that the area failed to attain the standards by the original 2019 date based on air quality data from 2017-2019. If finalized, California must submit a State Implementation Plan revision to achieve expeditious attainment and a 5% annual reduction in PM2.5 emissions or precursors.
