ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA287-0428b; FRL-7628-2]
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, South
Coast Air Quality Management District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the South Coast Air
Quality Management District (SCAQMD) portion of the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern volatile organic
compound (VOC) and ammonia emissions from composting and related
activities. 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 April 21, 2004.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Andy Steckel, Rulemaking Office Chief (AIR-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne
http://www.regulations.gov.
You can inspect copies of the submitted SIP revisions, EPA's
technical support documents (TSDs), and public comments at our Region
IX office during normal business hours by appointment. You may also see
copies of the submitted SIP revisions by appointment at the locations
listed below.

Please be advised that this is not
an EPA website and may not contain the same version of the rule that
was submitted to EPA.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerald S. Wamsley, EPA Region IX, at
either (415) 947-4111, or wamsley.jerry@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local
SCAQMD rules: Rule 1133, Composting and Related Operations--General
Administrative Requirements, Rule
[[Page 13273]]
1133.1, Chipping and Grinding Activities, Rule 1133.2, Emission
Reductions From Co-Composting Operations. 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: February 4, 2004.
Keith Takata,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
