ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 198-0175b; FRL-6445-7]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision, San Luis Obispo County 
Air Pollution Control District South Coast Air Quality Management 
District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve revisions to the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern the recission of rules from the 
SIP.
    The intended effect of this action is to bring the San Luis Obispo 
County Air Pollution Control District and the South Coast Air Quality 
Management District rules and regulations up to date 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 November 1, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to: Andrew Steckel, Chief, 
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 each 
rule recision 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:
