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be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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.
