40 CFR Part 52

[CA 102-14-0004b; FRL-5441-4]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision; Mojave Desert Air 
Quality Management District; San Diego County Air Pollution Control 
District; San Joaquin Valley Unified 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 control oxides of nitrogen (NOx) 
from gas turbines, fuel-burning equipment, and glass manufacturing 
plants. The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is to 
regulate emissions of NOx 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 action, no further activity is contemplated 
in relation to this action. 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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 
May 9, 1996.
