40 CFR Part 52

Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Lake
County Air Quality Management District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve a revision to the Lake County Air Quality Management District
(LCAQMD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP).
This revision concerns the definition of hazardous air pollutants and
particulate matter emissions from agricultural compression ignition
engines. We are proposing to approve local rules under the Clean Air
Act (CAA or the Act).
DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by November 5, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPA-R09-OAR-
2014-0412, by one of the following methods:
1. Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-
line instructions.
2. Email: [email protected].
3. Mail or deliver: Andrew Steckel (Air-4), U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA
94105-3901.
Instructions: All comments will be included in the public docket
without change and may be made available online at 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 www.regulations.gov or email.
www.regulations.gov is an ``anonymous access'' system, and EPA will not
know your identity or contact information unless you provide it in the
body of your comment. If you send email directly to EPA, your email
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: Generally, documents in the docket for this action are
available electronically at www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA
Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California 94105-3901.
While all documents in the docket are listed at www.regulations.gov,
some information may be publicly available only at the hard copy
location (e.g., copyrighted material, large maps), 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 listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Idalia P[eacute]rez, EPA Region IX,
(415) 972-3248, [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local
rules: LCAQMD Section 228, Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP), and LCAQMD
Section 470, Air Toxics Control Measure for Emissions of Toxic
Particulate Matter from In-Use Agricultural Compression Ignition
Engines. 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
either of these rules and if that provision may be severed from the
remainder of the rules, we may adopt as final those provisions of the
rules 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: May 30, 2014.
Jared Blumenfeld,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
