Under the authority of section 110(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or ``the Act''), EPA today proposes federal implementation plans (FIPs) to attain, by the applicable statutory deadlines, the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for ozone in the Sacramento and Ventura nonattainment areas, and to attain the NAAQS for ozone and carbon monoxide in the South Coast nonattainment area. EPA's final FIPs must be signed by the EPA Administrator no later than February 1995. EPA requests comment on these proposed FIPs. EPA expects the California Low Emitting Vehicle (LEV) program will substantially reduce emissions from cars and light trucks, compared to the federal standard. In addition, for motor vehicles, EPA requests comment on an enhanced in-use compliance program to provide extra emissions. The FIP proposes a federal enhanced motor vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) program. If California adopts an approvable enhanced I/M program, EPA will either withdraw or refrain from promulgating this federal program. The FIP proposes stringent emission standards for heavy-duty vehicles and provisions to limit usage of older and dirtier heavy-duty trucks within the State and the FIP areas. The FIP describes federal rulemakings in progress for both light and heavy-duty categories of nonroad engines, and proposes additional measures in the FIP areas. The proposed FIP includes innovative control programs to reduce emissions associated with airports and, particularly within the South Coast, emissions from locomotives, ships, and ports. EPA proposes rules, specific to each area, for industrial and commercial sources, and proposes to implement on a statewide basis federal rules for architectural coatings, consumer products, aerosol spray paints, and pesticides. EPA also proposes an ``emissions cap'' program, which allows sources the flexibility to develop their own compliance approach in order to achieve the needed annual emissions reductions. Finally, EPA proposes to approve in part and disapprove in part the proposed South Coast CO State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision designed to address CO requirements of the 1990 Amendments to the Act.
