ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA 146-1-7134b; FRL-5272-3]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; California
State Implementation Plan Revision, San Joaquin Valley Nonattainment
Area, Transportation Control Measure Replacement
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone which concern a transportation
control measure (TCM) to be implemented in the San Joaquin Valley ozone
nonattainment area.
The intended effect of proposing approval of this SIP revision is
to control emissions of ozone precursors and carbon monoxide in
accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act, as amended in
1990 (CAA or the Act). In the Final Rules section of this Federal
Register, the EPA is approving the state's SIP revision as a direct
final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this action
as a noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for this approval is set forth in the
direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to
this proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to
this rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will
be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a
subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not
institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by
September 18, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to:
Deborah Schechter, Mobile Source Section (A-2-1), Air and Toxics
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne
Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.
Copies of the SIP revision and EPA's evaluation of the SIP are
available for public inspection at EPA's Region 9 office during normal
business hours. Copies of the submitted SIP revision are also available
for inspection at the following locations:
California Air Resources Board, 2020 ``L'' Street, Sacramento, CA 92123
San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District, 1999
Tuolomne Street, Suite #200, Fresno, CA 93721
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Deborah Schechter, Mobile Source
Section, A-2-1, Air and Toxics Division, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105,
Telephone: (415) 744-1227.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document concerns a revision to the
California SIP to implement the ``Railroad Grade Separations'' TCM in
the San Joaquin Valley ozone nonattainment area which replaces a TCM
that was never implemented from the 1982 California ozone and CO SIP
for San Joaquin County. Because the design of the ``Railroad Grade
Separations'' project is nearly complete, because the funding will be
available and has been committed by the required agencies, and because
the State submitted a fully approvable SIP revision, the EPA has
decided to take direct final action approving the submittal in to the
California SIP. For further details, please see the information
provided in the direct final action which is located in the Rules
Section of this Federal Register.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.
Dated: July 26, 1995.
Jeff Zelikson,
Acting Regional Administrator.
