40 CFR Part 52

[CA 126-0032b; FRL-5815-6]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision, Placer 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) that concern a wide range of administrative 
and traditional source category rules.
    The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is to 
regulate emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), oxides of 
nitrogen (NOX) and other pollutants 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 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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. 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 30, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to: 
Andrew Steckel, Rulemaking Office [AIR-4], Air Division, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, San 
Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
    Copies of the rule revisions are available for public inspection at 
EPA's Region 9 office during normal business hours. Copies of the 
submitted rule revisions are also available for inspection at the
