Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision, San Diego County Air 
Pollution Control District, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) that concern ten 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

[[Page 11863]]

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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn 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 
April 10, 1998.
