ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA-271-0412b; FRL-7551-9]

 
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Monterey 
Bay Unified and San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control 
District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the San Joaquin 
Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) and the 
Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District (MBUAPCD) portions 
of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions 
concern volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions from organic 
solvents, animal reduction, leather processing, and industries coating 
glass products. We are proposing to rescind and approve local rules 
that regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended 
in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by October 16, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Mail comments to Andy Steckel, Rulemaking Office Chief (AIR-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne 
Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901 or email to 
steckel.andrew@epa.gov.    You can inspect copies of the submitted SIP revisions and EPA's 
technical support documents (TSDs) at our Region IX office during 
normal business hours. You may also see copies of the submitted SIP 
revisions at the following locations: California Air Resources Board, 
Stationary Source Division, Rule Evaluation Section, 1001 ``I'' Street, 
Sacramento, CA 95814. Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control 
District, 24580 Silver Cloud Ct., Monterey, CA 93940-6536. San Joaquin 
Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District, 1990 E. Gettysburg, 
Fresno, CA 93726.
    A copy of the rules may also be available via the Internet at 
http://www.arb.ca.gov/drdb/drdbltxt.htm. Please be advised that this is 
not an EPA Web site and may not contain the same version of the rules 
that were submitted to EPA.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cynthia G. Allen, EPA Region IX, (415) 
947-4120.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: MBUAPCD Rules 414 and 430 and SJVUAPCD Rules 4610 and 4661. In 
the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are 
approving these local rules and rule rescissions in a direct final 
action without prior proposal because we believe these SIP revisions 
are not controversial. If we receive adverse comments, however, we will 
publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule and address the 
comments in subsequent action based on this proposed rule. Please note 
that if we receive adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or 
section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the 
remainder of the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the 
rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
    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: August 5, 2003.
Debbie Jordan,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
