**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Notice of Final Action**
The EPA approved eleven Requests for Coverage under the CA-GDF General Permit [^1] submitted by the Permittees. The Requests for Coverage under the CA-GDF General Permit were approved on the dates listed in Table 1. These approvals pertain to the construction and operation of the Sources, all of which are gasoline dispensing facilities, located or to be located in Indian country in California. The EPA issued the approvals pursuant to the provisions of Clean Air Act sections 110(a) and 301(d) and the EPA's Tribal Minor NSR Program at 40 CFR 49.151-49.164. The EPA based its approvals on its determinations that the Sources met the criteria qualifying them for coverage and that the Sources were eligible for coverage under the CA-GDF General Permit.
[^1] The CA-GDF General Permit was issued by the EPA under the Tribal Minor NSR Program on May 1, 2019, and the permit became effective June 12, 2019. 84 FR 20879 (May 13, 2019). This permit is available on *https://www.regulations.gov* under Docket ID EPA-R09-OAR-2016-0580.
[^2] On July 31, 2025, the EPA issued a minor NSR permit to Agua Caliente Fuel Rancho Mirage (formerly the Agua Caliente Tribal Corporation Gasoline Dispensing Facility). This permit allows for increased fuel throughout at Agua Caliente Fuel Rancho Mirage. As a result, Agua Caliente Fuel Rancho Mirage no longer qualifies for coverage under the CA-GDF General Permit. See Docket ID EPA-R09-OAR-2024-0455 at *https://www.regulations.gov.*
[^3] On May 31, 2022, the EPA issued an amended approval to the Soboba Economic Development Corporation's Request for Coverage for Roadrunner Express (formerly the Soboba Economic Development Corporation Gasoline Dispensing Facility), submitted on February 10, 2022 (Application #2022-004-AA). See Docket ID EPA-R09-OAR-2022-0288 at *https://www.regulations.gov.*
[^4] On August 5, 2025, the EPA issued an amended approval to the Agua Caliente Tribal Corporation's Request for Coverage for Agua Caliente Fuel Cathedral City, submitted on July 17, 2025 (Application #2024-014-AA). See Docket ID EPA-R09-OAR-2025-0982 at *https://www.regulations.gov.*
