40 CFR Part 52
[CA 194-0125b; FRL-6226-6]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
California State Implementation Plan Revision, Monterey Bay Unified Air
Pollution Control District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concerns the control of volatile
organic compounds (VOC) emissions from leather processing operations
within the Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District
(MBUAPCD) area.
The intended effect of proposing approval of this rule 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
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, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this rule.
If EPA receives 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 rule. Any parties interested
in commenting on this rule should do so at this time.
DATES: Written comments must be received in writing by March 11, 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.
