Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision, South Coast Air Quality 
Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concerns South Coast Air Quality 
Management District Rule 701. The intended effect of proposing approval 
of this rule is to update the episode criteria and to modify the 
boundary between two Source Receptor Area 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 
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 rule, 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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.
