ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA 172-0157b; FRL-6420-2]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; California
State Implementation Plan Revision: Bay Area Air Quality Management
District, Kern County Air Pollution Control District, Monterey Bay
Unified Air Pollution Control District, South Coast Air Quality
Management District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is approving revisions to the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern the control of volatile organic
compound (VOC) emissions from the miscellaneous metal part and magnet
wire coating industries. The intended effect of this action is to
regulate emissions of VOCs according to 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
submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision 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, 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received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 should do so at this time.
DATES: Written comments must be received by September 20, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to: Andrew Steckel, Rulemaking
Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
Copies of the rule revisions and EPA's evaluation report of each
rule are available for public inspection at EPA's Region 9 office
