ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[CA 140-5-7275b; FRL-5402-6]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision; Santa Barbara County Air 
Pollution Control District; Kern County Air Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern the control of volatile organic 
compound (VOC) emissions from organic liquid storage and loading, and 
petroleum sumps, pits and well cellars. The intended effect of 
proposing approval of these rules is to regulate emissions of VOCs in 
accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 
1990 (CAA or the Act). In the Rules section of this Federal Register, 
EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial action 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 
March 14, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to: 
Daniel A. Meer, Rulemaking Section (A-5-3), Air and Toxics Division,
