40 CFR Part 52
[CA 57-8-6368b; FRL-5640-9]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
California State Implementation Plan Revision, South Coast Air Quality
Management District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed Rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern the control of volatile organic
compound (VOC) emissions from solvent degreasing. The intended effect
of proposing approval of this rule is to regulate emissions of VOCs 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
[[Page 56650]]
EPA is approving the state's SIP revision as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial revision amendment 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 in response to
this proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to
this rule. 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be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a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 on this document. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by
December 4, 1996.
