ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA 009-0013b; FRL 5611-1]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; California
State Implementation Plan Revision, Glenn County and Siskiyou County
Air Pollution Control Districts
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions concern rules submitted by the
State of California on behalf of the Air Pollution Control Districts of
Glenn and Siskiyou Counties (the Counties) for the purpose of meeting
requirements of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act)
with regard to general preconstruction permitting.
The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is to
control air pollution in accordance with the requirements of the Act.
In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the 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
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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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. EPA will not institute a second public 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.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to: Matt
Haber, New Source Section (A-5-1), Air & Toxics Division, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, San
Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
Copies of the State's submittal and other information are available
for inspection during normal business hours at EPA Region 9, 75
Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105. Copies of the State's
submittal are also available at the California Air Resources Board,
