	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1487, Maldonado.  State implementation plan:  district
revisions.
   Existing law, the federal Clean Air Act, requires the state to
adopt and submit to the United States Environmental Protection
Agency, a state implementation plan designed to attain and maintain
national ambient air quality standards.  Under existing law, the
State Air Resources Board is designated as the state agency
responsible for the preparation of the state implementation plan.
Existing law also requires each air pollution control district or air
quality management district that has been designated a nonattainment
area for state ambient air quality standards to prepare and submit
to the state board a plan for attaining and maintaining those
standards.
   This bill would require the state board to publish on a quarterly
basis, or on a more frequent basis if necessary,  a list of each
district's rules or rule amendments that are submitted during that
quarter to the United States Environmental Protection Agency as
revisions to the state implementation plan.

list shall include the following dates and information, if
available:
   (1) The date the district adopted the revision.
   (2) The date the revision was submitted to the state board.
   (3) The date the state board submitted the revision to the United

information on the state board's Internet website, or to make the
information available to any party in writing upon request.
