    AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
    
    ACTION: Proposed rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the California State 
    Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern various administrative, 
    editorial, and other modifications which do not directly affect 
    emissions. The intended effect of this action is to update and clarify 
    the SIP.
        In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
    approving these SIP submittals as a direct final rule without prior 
    proposal because the Agency views these rules 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    receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 July 6, 1999
    
    ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to: Andrew Steckel, Rulemaking
