ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA 184-0031b; FRL-5709-4]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
California State Implementation Plan Revision, San Diego 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). This action is an administrative change
which revises the definition of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and
updates the Exempt Compound list in rules from the San Diego County Air
Pollution Control District (SDCAPCD).
The intended effect of proposing approval of this action is to
incorporate changes to the definition of VOC and to update the Exempt
Compound list in SDCAPCD rules to be consistent with the revised
federal and state VOC definitions. EPA is proposing approval of these
revisions 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 (CAA or the Act). In the Final Rules
Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the state's SIP
revisions as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views these administrative changes as noncontroversial revision
amendments 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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
April 28, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to:
Andrew Steckel, Rulemaking Office [Air-4], Air Division, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, San
Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
