ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA 206-0096b; FRL-6164-5]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
California State Implementation Plan Revision, Placer County Air
Pollution Control District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is approving a revision to the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the California Air Resources
Board (CARB). The revisions concern negative declarations from the
Placer County Air Pollution Control District (PCAPCD) for seven source
categories that emit volatile organic compounds (VOC) and five source
categories that emit oxides of nitrogen (NOX). The intended
effect of this action is to include these negative declarations in the
SIP and to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act, as amended in
1990 (CAA or the Act). In the Final Rules Section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP submittal as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A
rationale for this action is set forth in the direct final rule. If no
adverse comments are received, no further activity is contemplated. 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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn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. Any parties interested in commenting on this
action should do so at this time.
0DATES: Written comments must be received by October 23, 1998.
ADDRESSES: Comments on this action should be addressed to: Andrew
Steckel, Chief, Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San
Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
Copies of the negative declarations are available for public
inspection at EPA's Region IX office and at the following locations
during normal business hours.
