ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R09-OAR-2016-0262; FRL-9948-09-Region 9]
Approval of California Air Plan Revisions, Placer County Air
Pollution Control District and Ventura County Air Pollution Control
District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve revisions to the Placer County Air Pollution Control District
(PCAPCD) and Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD)
portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These
revisions concern oxides of nitrogen (NOX) and carbon
monoxide emissions from stationary gas turbines, boilers, steam
generators, and process heaters. 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 August 31, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R09-
OAR-2016-0262 at http://www.regulations.gov, or via email to Andrew
Steckel, Rules Office Chief, at [email protected]. For comments
submitted at Regulations.gov, follow the online instructions for
submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or
removed from Regulations.gov. For either manner of submission, 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, please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section. For 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.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin Gong, EPA Region IX, (415) 972-
3073, [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, ``we,'' ``us'' and
``our'' refer to the EPA. This proposal addresses the following local
rules: PCAPCD Rule 250, ``Stationary Gas Turbines,'' and VCAPCD Rule
74.15.1, ``Boilers, Steam Generators, and Process Heaters.'' 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: June 14, 2016.
Alexis Strauss,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
