ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA 014-0003b; FRL-5464-5]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
California State Implementation Plan Revision, Five Local Air Pollution
Control Districts
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 graphic arts 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
revision 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 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 action. 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
July 12, 1996.
