[EPA-R09-OAR-2015-0643; FRL-9935-64-Region 9]
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Placer
County Air Pollution Control District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve a revision to the Placer County portion of the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns the necessary
procedures to create emission reduction credits (ERCs) from the
reduction of volatile organic compound (VOC), oxides of nitrogen
(NOX), oxides of sulfur (SOX), particulate matter
(PM), and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions due to the use and
installation of a control device on stationary locomotive engines in
rail yards. We are proposing to approve a local rule that provides
administrative procedures for creating emissions reduction credits,
consistent with Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) requirements.
DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by December 7, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local
rule: Placer County Air Pollution Control District Rule 515 Stationary
Rail Yard Control Emission Reduction Credits. In the Rules and
Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are approving this
local rule in a direct final action without prior proposal because we
believe this SIP revision is not controversial. If we receive adverse
comments, however, we will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct
final rule and address the comments in
[[Page 68808]]
subsequent action based on this proposed rule.
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: September 25, 2015.
