ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA 140-10-7261b; FRL-5457-1]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
California State Implementation Plan Revision, Placer County Air
Pollution Control District and Ventura 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 volatile
organic compound (VOC) emissions from the storage and transfer of
organic liquids and tank degassing operations.
The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is to
regulate emissions of VOCs 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
revisions as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views these 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 these rules. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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
June 5, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to:
