[EPA-R09-OAR-2008-0590; FRL-8732-5]
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Imperial
County Air Pollution Control District, Mojave Desert Air Quality
Management District, South Coast Air Quality Management District, and
Ventura County Air Pollution Control District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Imperial County
Air Pollution Control District (ICAPCD), Mojave Desert Air Quality
Management District (MDAQMD), South Coast Air Quality Management
District (SCAQMD), and Ventura County Air Pollution Control District
(VCAPCD) portions of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP).
These revisions concern volatile organic compound emissions from
storage of reactive organic compound liquids, polyester resin
operations, coatings of metal parts and products, and adhesives and
sealants. We are proposing to approve local rules that regulate these
emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the
Act).

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: October 2, 2008.
Laura Yoshii,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
