ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R09-OAR-2015-0690; FRL-9937-28-Region 9]
Approval of California Air Plan Revisions, South Coast Air
Quality Management District and Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management
District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve revisions to the South Coast Air Quality Management District
(SCAQMD) and Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD)
portions of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These
revisions concern volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from motor
vehicle and mobile equipment refinishing coating operations. We are
proposing to approve local rules to regulate these emission sources
under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act).
DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by January 7, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R09-
OAR-2015-0690 at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
[[Page 76258]]
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located
outside of the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions,
and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, ``we,'' ``us'' and
``our'' refer to the EPA. This proposal addresses the following local
rules: SCAQMD Rule 1151,``Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Non-
Assembly Line Coating Operations,'' and YSAQMD Rule 2.26, ``Motor
Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Coating Operations''. 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 a particular rule, we may adopt as final the rule that is 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: November 5, 2015.
Jared Blumenfeld,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
