40 CFR Part 52

[CA 187-0076b; FRL-6137-7]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision, Mojave Desert Air 
Quality Management District, San Diego Air Pollution Control District, 
San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District, South Coast 
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 aerospace coating operations.
    The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules 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 
revisions 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 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 must be received in writing by September 16, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments 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 rules and EPA's evaluation report of each rule 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 following locations:
