ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 238-0246b; FRL-6851-9]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, South 
Coast Air Quality Management District, Bay Area Air Quality Management 
District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the South Coast Air 
Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and Bay Area Air Quality 
Management District (BAAQMD) portions of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern volatile organic 
compound (VOC) emissions from graphic arts printing and coating 
operations. We are proposing to approve local rules to regulate these 
emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the 
Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by October 13, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Mail comments to Andy Steckel, Rulemaking Office Chief (AIR-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne 
Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
    You can inspect copies of the submitted SIP revisions and EPA's 
technical support documents (TSDs) at our Region IX office during 
normal business hours. You may also see copies of the submitted SIP 
revisions at the following locations:

California Air Resources Board, Stationary Source Division, Rule 
Evaluation Section, 2020 ``L'' Street, Sacramento, CA 95812.
South Coast Air Quality Management District, 21865 E. Copley Dr. 
Diamond Bar, CA 91765-4182
Bay Area Air Quality Management District, 939 Ellis Street San 
Francisco, CA 94109-7799.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Max Fantillo, Rulemaking Office (Air-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, (415) 744-1183.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: SCAQMD 1130 and BAAQMD 8.20. In the Rules and Regulations 
section of this Federal Register, we are approving these local rules in 
a direct final action without prior proposal because we believe these 
SIP revisions are not controversial. If we receive adverse comments, 
however, we will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule 
and address the comments in subsequent action based on this proposed 
rule. We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone 
interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not 
receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further 
information, please see the direct final action.

    Dated: July 20, 2000.
Felicia Marcus,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
