ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 226-0159b FRL-6376-2]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; California 
State Implementation Plan Revision, South Coast Air Quality Management 
District and Yolo-Solano 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 organic liquid loading, pharmaceutical 
and cosmetics manufacturing operations, and polyester resin operations.
    The intended effect of this action 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 submittal 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, 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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 August 20, 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.

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