40 CFR Part 52
[CA 126-0190b; FRL-6477-8]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
California State Implementation Plan Revision, Sacramento Metropolitan
Air Quality Management District, Santa Barbara County Air Pollution
Control District, Ventura County Air Pollution Control District, and
Yolo-Solano County Air Quality Management District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve revisions to the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern the control of volatile organic
compounds (VOC) from the storage and transfer of gasoline, loading of
organic liquids, and fugitive hydrocarbons.
The intended effect of this action is to regulate emissions of VOC
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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in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 December 27, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to: Christine Vineyard,
Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
