[CA 157-0050b; FRL-5907-6]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; California 
State Implementation Plan Revision; Santa Barbara County Air Pollution 
Control District, California

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). The revision concerns the Operating Permits 
Program rule revision submitted by the California Air Resources Board 
(CARB) on behalf of the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control 
District (Santa Barbara or District) pursuant to Clean Air Act (CAA) 
sections 110 and 112(l).
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving the states'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 action, no further 
activity is contemplated in relation to this proposal. If EPA receives 
adverse comments, the direct final approval will be withdrawn and all 
public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final action 
based on this proposal. 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 
November 14, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to: John 
Walser, Permits Office (AIR-3), Air Division, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 
94105.
