ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R09-OAR-2011-0042; FRL-9279-4]
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Northern
Sierra Air Quality Management District, Sacramento Metropolitan Air
Quality Management 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 Northern Sierra
Air Quality Management District (NSAQMD), Sacramento Metropolitan Air
Quality Management District (SMAQMD), and South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) portions of the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern volatile organic
compound (VOC) emissions from gasoline dispensing facilities, polyester
resin operations, and spray booth facilities. 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 August 25, 2011.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPA-R09-OAR-
2011-0042, by one of the following methods:

Instructions: All comments will be included in the public docket
without change and may be made available online at
http:[sol][sol]www.regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes Confidential Business Information
(CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Information that you consider CBI or otherwise protected should be
clearly identified as such and should not be submitted through
http:[sol][sol]www.regulations.gov or e-mail.

EPA, your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as
part of the public comment. If EPA cannot read your comment due to
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of
any defects or viruses.
Docket: The index to the docket for this action is available
electronically at http:[sol][sol]www.regulations.gov and in hard copy
at EPA Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California. While
all documents in the docket are listed in the index, some information
may be publicly available only at the hard copy location (e.g.,
copyrighted material), and some may not be publicly available in either
location (e.g., CBI). To inspect the hard copy materials, please
schedule an appointment during normal business hours with the contact

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Grounds, EPA Region IX, (415)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local
rules: NSAQMD Rule 215, SMAQMD Rule 465, and SCAQMD Rules 1132 and
1162. 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 15, 2011.
Jared Blumenfeld,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
