Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
California State Implementation Plan Revision; Mojave Desert Air
Quality Management District; San Diego County Air Pollution Control
District; San Joaquin Valley Unified 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 control oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
from gas turbines, fuel-burning equipment, and glass manufacturing
plants. The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is to
regulate emissions of NOx in accordance with the requirements of
the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). In the Rules
section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP
revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial action 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 action, no further activity is contemplated
in relation to this action. 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received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.

May 9, 1996.
