Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision, Monterey Bay Unified Air 
Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern the control of oxides of 
nitrogen and sulfur compounds.
    The intended effect of proposing approval of this rule is to 
regulate emissions of oxides of nitrogen and sulfur compounds 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 relevant adverse comments are received, no 
further activity is contemplated in relation to

[[Page 42783]]

this rule. If EPA receives relevant adverse comments, the direct final 
rule will not take effect and all public comments received will be 
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA 
will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in 
commenting should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on must be received in writing by September 10, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Andrew Steckel, 
Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
