40 CFR Part 52

[CA179-0052b; FRL-5911-3]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision, Mojave Desert 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 miscellaneous metal parts and products 
coating industry. The intended effect of proposing approval of Mojave 
Desert Air Quality Management District Rule 1115 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 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 
January 22, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to:
