40 CFR Part 52
[CA 136-0082b; FRL-6140-7]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
California State Implementation Plan Revision, South Coast Air Quality
Management District, Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District, and
Ventura County Air Pollution Control District
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 screen printing operations, and graphic
arts.
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 amendment and
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for this approval
is set forth in the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse comments
are received no further activity is contemplated in relation to this
proposed rule. If EPA receives relevant adverse comments, the direct
final rule will not take effect and all public comments received will
be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.
EPA will not institute a second comment period on this rule. Any
parties interested in commenting on this rule should do so at this
time.
DATES: Comments must be received in writing by September 21, 1998.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Andrew Steckel,
Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
