ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA 211-0127b; FRL-6313-5]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; California
State Implementation Plan Revision; El Dorado 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 oxides of
nitrogen (NOX) emissions from natural gas-fired residential
water heaters within the El Dorado County Air Pollution Control
District.
The intended effect of proposing approval of this rule is to
regulate NOX emissions 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 submittal 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, no further activity is contemplated. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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.
Any parties interested in commenting should do so at this time.
DATES: Written comments must be received by April 29, 1999.
ADDRESSES: 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.
