Title: State Implementation Plans: Response to Petition; Findings of Substantial Inadequacy; and SIP Calls to Amend Provisions Applying to Excess Emissions During Periods of Startup, Shutdown and Malfunction 
Abstract: In this final action, EPA will issue findings of substantial inadequacy for certain states whose State Implementation Plans (SIPs) are inconsistent with the CAA and with current EPA rules and policies concerning treatment of a source's excess emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM). In addition, EPA is under this action issuing a "SIP call" for each of the states for which a SIP inadequacy is confirmed, which requires the state to revise its SIP as necessary to correct the inadequacy. The SIP call will establish a deadline by which each of these states must submit its corrective SIP revision. A corrective SIP revision will ensure that: (1) all periods of excess emissions, regardless of cause, will be treated as violations subject to EPA enforcement action; and (2) no periods of excess emissions can be automatically exempted from emissions limits.
