ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 184-0220b; FRL-6547-1]


Proposed Approval and Promulgation of California State 
Implementation Plan for San Diego County Air Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions are rules submitted by the 
State of California on behalf of the District to apply as general 
provisions for the implementation of NSR and other SIP requirements for 
stationary sources in the District.
    The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is to 
control air pollution in accordance with the requirements of 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
April 10, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action must be sent to David 
Albright at the Region IX mailing address listed below.
    Copies of the rules and EPA's evaluation report of each rule are 
available for public inspection at EPA's Region 9 office during normal 
business hours at the following address: Permits Office (AIR-3), Air 
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is proposing to approve the following

and submitted to EPA by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as a 
revision to the SIP on October 18, 1996. Rule 60 was adopted by the 
District on May 17, 1994, and submitted to EPA by CARB on July 13,
