ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA 210-0103b; FRL-6365-2]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
California State Implementation Plan Revision, Modoc County Air
Pollution Control District, Siskiyou County Air Pollution Control
District, Tehama County Air Pollution Control District, and Tuolumne
County Air Pollution Control District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is approving revisions to the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP). This action is an administrative change
which revises the definitions in Modoc County Air Pollution Control
District (MCAPCD), Siskiyou County Air Pollution Control District
(SCAPCD), Tehama County Air Pollution Control District (TCAPCD), and
Tuolumne County Air Pollution Control District (TUCAPCD).
The intended effect of approving this action is to incorporate
changes to the definitions for clarity and consistency and to update
the Exempt Compound list in TCAPCD definition's rule to be consistent
with the revised federal and state VOC definitions. EPA is proposing
approval of these revisions to be incorporated into the California SIP
for the attainment of the national ambient air quality standards
(NAAQS) under title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act). In the
Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the
state's SIP submittal 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, 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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 30, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to: Andrew Steckel, Chief,
Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901.

during normal business hours. Copies of the submitted rule revisions
