40 CFR Part 52

[CA 038-100b; FRL-6333-5]


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 revisions to the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern the control of volatile organic 
compound (VOC) emissions from paper, fabric, and film coating 
operations; graphic arts, coatings and ink manufacturing; plastic, 
rubber, and glass coatings; motor vehicle and mobile equipment non-
assembly line coating operations; and solvent cleaning operations.
    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 adverse comments are 
received, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. 
If EPA receives 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 June 3, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to: 
Andrew Steckel, Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, San

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