    Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
    California State Implementation Plan Revision, Antelope Valley Air 
    Pollution Control District
    
    AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
    
    ACTION: Proposed rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: EPA is approving revisions to the California State 
    Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern the rescission of three 
    volatile organic compound rules for the Antelope Valley Air Pollution 
    Control District (AVAPCD). The intended effect of this action is to 
    bring the AVAPCD SIP up to date in accordance with the requirements of 
    the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990
    
    [[Page 2166]]
    
    (CAA or the Act). EPA is finalizing the approval of these rescissions 
    from the California SIP under provisions of the CAA regarding EPA 
    action on SIP submittals, SIPs for national primary and secondary 
    ambient air quality standards and plan requirements for nonattainment 
    areas. EPA is approving these revisions in accordance with the 
    requirements of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). 
    In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
    approving the state's SIP submittal as a direct final rule without 
    prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
    revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for 
    this approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse 
    comments are received, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA 
    receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 
    all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final 
    rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second 
    comment period. Any parties interested in commenting should do so at 
    this time.
    
    DATES: Written comments must be received by February 12, 1999.
