and Districts public review processes and the agencies responses thereto.37
Therefore, we find that the 2018 PM2.5
Plan meets the procedural requirements for public notice and hearing in CAA
sections 110a and 110l and 40 CFR
51.102. The 2018 PM2.5 Plan became complete by operation of law on November 10, 2019.
B. Valley State SIP Strategy CARB developed the Revised Proposed 2016 State Strategy for the State Implementation Plan 2016
State Strategy to support attainment planning in the San Joaquin Valley and Los Angeles-South Coast Air Basin South Coast ozone nonattainment areas.38 In its resolution adopting the 2016 State Strategy CARB Resolution 177, the Board found that the 2016
State Strategy would achieve 6 tons per day tpd of NOX emissions reductions and 0.1 tpd of direct PM2.5 emissions reductions in the San Joaquin Valley by 2025 and directed CARB staff to work with the SJVUAPCD to identify additional reductions from sources under District regulatory authority as part of a comprehensive plan to attain all of the PM2.5 NAAQS in the San Joaquin Valley and to return to the Board with a commitment to achieve additional emissions reductions from mobile sources.39
CARB responded to this resolution by developing and adopting the San Joaquin Valley Supplement to the 2016
State Strategy for the State Implementation Plan Valley State SIP Strategy to support the 2018 PM2.5
Plan. The States May 10, 2019 SIP
submission incorporates by reference the Valley State SIP Strategy as adopted by CARB on October 25, 2018 and submitted to the EPA on November 16, 2018.40
The Valley State SIP Strategy includes an Introduction Chapter 1, a chapter on Measures Chapter 2, and a Supplemental State Commitment from 37 CARB, Board Meeting Comments Log, March 29, 2019; J&K Court Reporting, LLC, Meeting, State of California Air Resources Board, January 24, 2019 transcript of CARBs public hearing, and 2018 PM2.5 Plan, Appendix M Summary of Significant Comments and Responses.
38 The EPA has approved certain commitments made by CARB in the 2016 State Strategy for purposes of attaining the ozone NAAQS in the San Joaquin Valley and South Coast ozone nonattainment areas see, e.g., 84 FR 3302 February 12, 2019 and 84 FR 52005 October 1, 2019 and for attaining the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS in the San Joaquin Valley 85 FR 44192.

the Proposed State Measures for the Valley Chapter 3. Much of the content of the Valley State SIP Strategy is reproduced in Chapter 4 Attainment Strategy for PM2.5 of the 2018 PM2.5
Plan.41 The Valley State SIP Strategy also includes CARB Resolution 1849, which, among other things, commits CARB to achieve specific amounts of NOX and PM2.5 emissions reductions by specific years, for purposes of attaining the PM2.5 NAAQS in the San Joaquin Valley.42

III. Clean Air Act Requirements for PM2.5 Serious Area Plans and for Serious PM2.5 Areas That Fail To Attain A. Requirements for PM2.5 Serious Area Plans Upon reclassification of a Moderate nonattainment area as a Serious nonattainment area under subpart 4 of part D, title I of the CAA, the Act requires the state to make a SIP
submission that addresses the following Serious nonattainment area requirements: 45
1. A comprehensive, accurate, current inventory of actual emissions from all sources of PM2.5 and PM2.5 precursors in the area CAA section 172c3;
41 For example, Table 2 proposed mobile source measures and schedule, Table 3 emissions reductions from proposed mobile source measures, and Table 4 summary of emission reduction measures of the Valley State SIP Strategy correspond to tables 48, 49, and 47, respectively, of the 2018 PM2.5 Plan, Chapter 4.
