ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA-207-0074b; FRL-6306-9]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
California State Implementation Plan Revision Santa Barbara County Air
Pollution Control District and 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). This action is an administrative change
which revises various definitions in Santa Barbara Air Pollution
Control District (SBCAPCD) Rule 102, Definitions and South Coast Air
Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 102, Definition of Terms.
The intended effect of proposing approval of this action is to
incorporate changes to the definitions for clarity and consistency with
revised federal and state definitions. EPA is proposing approval of
this revision to be incorporated into the California SIP for the
attainment of the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for
ozone under title I 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 administrative change 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 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and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 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 must be received in writing by April 26, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to:
