Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision, South Coast Air Quality 
Management 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 solvent degreasing. The intended effect 
of proposing approval of this rule 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 Final Rules Section of this Federal 
Register, the

[[Page 56650]]

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be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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

December 4, 1996.
