40 CFR Part 52

[CA 071-0005b; FRL-5464-7]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision, El Dorado County Air 
Pollution Control District, Placer County Air Pollution Control 
District, and Ventura 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 adhesives, architectural coatings, and 
wood products coatings.
    The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is to 
regulate emissions of VOCs in accordance with

[[Page 37429]]

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 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 
August 19, 1996.
