40 CFR Part 52

[CA 241-0274b; FRL-6955-1]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Bay Area 
Air Quality Management District and Imperial County Air Pollution 
Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Bay Area Air 
Quality Management District and Imperial County Air Pollution Control 
District portions of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). 
These revisions concern volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from 
Aeration of Contaminated Soil and Removal of Underground Storage Tanks 
and Cutback Asphalt and Emulsified Paving Materials. 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 May 21, 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julie A. Rose, Rulemaking Office (Air-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, (415) 744-1184.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: BAAQMD 8-40 and ICAPCD 426.
    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: March 2, 2001.
Laura Yoshii,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
