40 CFR Part 52

[CA 217-0170b; FRL-6423-2]


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 proposes to approve a revision to the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concerns the control of volatile 
organic compound (VOC) emissions from commercial and industrial 
adhesive applications.
    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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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 September 30, 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 rule revisions and EPA's evaluation report of the 
rule are available for public inspection at EPA's Region IX office 
during normal business hours. Copies of the submitted rule revisions 
are also available for inspection at the following locations:
