ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 63

[FRL-6222-8]


Approval of Section 112(l) Authority for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants; Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for Dry Cleaning 
Facilities; State of California; Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management 
District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 112(l) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and 
through the California Air Resources Board, Yolo-Solano Air Quality 
Management District (YSAQMD) requested approval to implement and 
enforce its ``Rule 9.7: Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Operations'' 
(Rule 9.7) in place of the ``National Perchloroethylene Air Emission 
Standards for Dry Cleaning Facilities'' (dry cleaning NESHAP) for area 
sources under YSAQMD's jurisdiction. In the Rules section of this 
Federal Register, EPA is granting YSAQMD the authority to implement and 
enforce Rule 9.7 in place of the dry cleaning NESHAP for area sources 
under YSAQMD's jurisdiction as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial action 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, no further activity is contemplated. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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. 
Any parties interested in commenting should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received by March 1, 1999.

ADDRESSES: 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.
    Copies of the submitted request are available for public inspection 
at EPA's Region IX office during normal business hours.

Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Operations, revised on November 13, 
1998. For further information, please see the information provided in 
the direct final action which is located in the Rules section of this
