    Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
    California State Implementation Plan Revision, South Coast Air Quality 
    Management District
    
    AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
    
    ACTION: Proposed Rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: EPA is proposing a limited approval and limited disapproval of 
    revisions to the California State Implementation Plan (SIP) which 
    concern the control of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from 
    active and inactive landfills.
        The intended effect of proposing limited approval and limited 
    disapproval 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 finalizing a simultaneous limited approval and 
    limited disapproval of 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 limited approval and limited disapproval 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    final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 
    June 5, 1997.
    
    ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to:
