40 CFR Part 52
[CA262-0369b; FRL-7451-5]
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Monterey
Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District, 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 Monterey Bay
Unified Air Pollution Control District (MBUAPCD) and San Joaquin Valley
Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) portions of the
California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern
volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from organic liquid storage
and VOC and nitrogen dioxide (Nox) from flare operations at industrial
sites such as oil refineries, chemical manufacturers, and oil wells. We
are proposing to approve local rules to 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 March 28, 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.
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:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerald S. Wamsley, EPA Region IX,
(415) 947-4111.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local
rules: MBUAPCD 417-Storage of Organic Liquids and SJVUAPCD 4311-Flares.
In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are
approving these local rules 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: December 6, 2002.
Alexis Strauss,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
