ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA 211-0105; FRL-6195-9]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
California State Implementation Plan Revision, San Diego Air Pollution
Control District and Ventura County Air Pollution Control 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 particulate
matter (PM) emissions from visible emissions and abrasive blasting.
The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is to
regulate emissions of PM 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
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 relevant adverse comments are received,
no further activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. If EPA
receives relevant adverse comments, the direct final rule will not take
effect and all public comments received will be addressed in a
subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments must be received January 6, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Andrew Steckel,
Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
