ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA 307-0460b; FRL-7874-7]
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, El Dorado
County Air Quality Management District (Mountain Counties Portion),
Imperial County Air Pollution Control District, and South Coast Air
Quality Management District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the El Dorado County
Air Quality Management District (EDCAQMD) (Mountain Counties portion),
Imperial County Air Pollution Control District (ICAPCD), and the South
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) portions of the
California State Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions concern an
obsolete permitting rule and the storage and transfer of gasoline at
dispensing facilities. We are proposing to remove an obsolete local
permitting rule and are proposing to approve local rules that regulate
volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions under the Clean Air Act as
amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).
DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by March 24, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Mail or e-mail comments to Andy Steckel, Rulemaking Office
Chief (AIR-4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the removal of local
EDCAQMD Rule 425 and approval of ICAPCD Rule 415 and SCAQMD Rule 461.
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 the
direct final rule and if that provision may be severed from the
remainder of the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the
direct final 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 17, 2004.
Wayne Nastri,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
