ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA-011-0071b; FRL-6229-6]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
California State Implementation Plan Revision, North Coast Unified Air
Quality Management District and Northern Sonoma 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). This action is an administrative change
which revises definitions in North Coast Unified Air Quality Management
District (NCUAQMD) and Northern Sonoma County Air Pollution Control
District (NSAPCD) Rule 130, Definitions.
The intended effect of proposing approval of these rule is to
incorporate changes to the definitions for clarity and consistency with
revised federal and state definitions. EPA is proposing approval of
these rules to be incorporated into the California SIP for the
attainment and maintenance of the national ambient air quality
standards (NAAQS) 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 these rules as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as
noncontroversial 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 in response to this
action, 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 action. Any
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this
time.
DATES: Comments must be received in writing by March 11, 1999.
