40 CFR Part 52

[CA-207-0088b; FRL-6211-3]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision, Antelope Valley 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) that concern three administrative rules.
    The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is to 
incorporate changes for clarity and consistency with revised federal 
and state regulations. EPA is proposing approval of these revisions to 
be incorporated into the California SIP for the attainment of the 
national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for ozone under title I 
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 administrative change 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 action, 
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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 must be received in writing by February 1, 1999.

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