SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Antelope Valley

Control District (SBCAPCD) portions of the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP). We are proposing to approve revisions to
local rules that define terms used in other air pollution regulations
in these areas and a rule rescission that address Petroleum Coke
Calcining Operations--Oxides of Sulfur, under the Clean Air Act as
amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

2011-0643, by one of the following methods:

documents in the docket are listed at www.regulations.gov, some

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local
rules: AVAQMD Rule 1119; EKAPCD Rule 102; and SBCAPCD Rule 102. In the
Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are
approving these local rules and a rule rescission 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: March 8, 2012.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
