ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA 128-0043; FRL-5876-1]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
California State Implementation Plan Revision, San Joaquin Valley
Unified Air Pollution Control District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to act on revisions to the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern five negative declarations from
the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District
(SJVUAPCD) for the following Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX) source
categories: Nitric and Adipic Acid Manufacturing Plants, Cement
Manufacturing Plants, Asphalt Batch Plants, Iron and Steel
Manufacturing Plants, and Driers. The intended effect of proposing to
include these negative declarations in the SIP is to meet 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 acting
on the state's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision
amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. A rationale for this
action 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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
September 15, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to:
Julie A. Rose, Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, San
Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
Copies of the negative declarations are available for public
inspection at EPA's Region 9 office and at the following locations
during normal business hours.

for five NOX source categories from the SJVUAPCD: (1) Nitric
and Adipic Acid Manufacturing Plants, (2) Cement Manufacturing Plants,
(3) Asphalt Batch Plants, (4) Iron and Steel Manufacturing Plants, and
(5) Driers. These negative declarations certify that there are no major
sources present in the above source categories in the SJVUAPCD. They
were adopted by the SJVUAPCD on September 14, 1994 and submitted to EPA
on October 17, 1994 by the California Air Resources Board. For further
