ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 136-0082b; FRL-6140-7]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision, South Coast Air Quality 
Management District, Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District, and 
Ventura County Air Pollution Control 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 screen printing operations, and graphic 
arts.
    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 
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 this 
proposed 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 on this rule. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this rule should do so at this 
time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by September 21, 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.

rule are available for public inspection at EPA's Region 9 office
