ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[CA 009-0013b; FRL 5611-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; California 
State Implementation Plan Revision, Glenn County and Siskiyou County 
Air Pollution Control Districts

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions concern rules submitted by the 
State of California on behalf of the Air Pollution Control Districts of 
Glenn and Siskiyou Counties (the Counties) for the purpose of meeting 
requirements of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act) 
with regard to general preconstruction permitting.
    The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is to 
control air pollution in accordance with the requirements of 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 
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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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. EPA will not institute a second public 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 
December 4, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to: Matt 
Haber, New Source Section (A-5-1), Air & Toxics Division, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, San 
Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
    Copies of the State's submittal and other information are available 
for inspection during normal business hours at EPA Region 9, 75 
Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105. Copies of the State's 
submittal are also available at the California Air Resources Board, 
Stationary Source Division, Rule Evaluation Section, 2020 L Street, 
Sacramento, CA 95814.
