02-4785. Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, El Dorado County Air Pollution Control District

AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:

Proposed rule.

SUMMARY:

EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the El Dorado County Air Pollution Control District's (EDCAPCD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns new source review. We are proposing to approve a local rule to regulate emissions from new and modified stationary sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

DATES:

Any comments on this proposal must arrive by April 1, 2002.

ADDRESSES:

Mail comments to Roger Kohn, Permits Office (AIR-3), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This proposal addresses EDCAPCD Rule 523. In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are approving this local rule in a direct final action without prior proposal because we believe this SIP revision is not controversial. If we receive adverse comments, however, we will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule and address the comments in a subsequent action based on this proposed rule. We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further information, please see the direct final action.

Dated: February 15, 2002.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
