ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 238-0256b; FRL-6895-8]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Santa 
Barbara and Ventura County Air Pollution Control Districts

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Santa Barbara 
County Air Pollution Control District (SBCAPCD) and Ventura County Air 
Pollution Control District (VCAPCD) portion of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern Oxides of Nitrogen 
(NOX) emissions from Natural-Gas Fired Fan-Type Central 
Furnaces and Residential Water Heaters, Large Water Heaters and Small 
Boilers. 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 January 19, 2001.

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.
Santa Barbara County, Air Pollution Control District, 26 Castillian 
Drive, Suite B-23, Goleta, CA 93117
Ventura County APCD, 669 County Square Dr., 2nd Fl., Ventura, CA 93003-
5417

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ed Addison, Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, (415) 744-1160.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: SBCAPCD 352 and VCAPCD 74.11.1. 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: October 10, 2000.
Laura Yoshii,
Regional Administrator,, Region IX.
