ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[AZ 099-0032b; FRL-6967-9]


Revisions to the Arizona State Implementation Plan, Pinal-Gila 
Counties Air Quality Control District and Pinal County Air Quality 
Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to approve revisions to the 
Pinal-Gila Counties Air Quality Control District (PGCAQCD) and Pinal 
County Air Quality Control District (PCAQCD) portions of the Arizona 
State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern the recision 
of all of the remaining SIP rules from the obsolete PGCAQCD and the 
recision of certain PCAQCD SIP Rules. We are approving the recision of 
local rules that no longer regulate permitting procedures and various 
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 31, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Mail comments to Andrew Steckel, Rulemaking Office Chief 
(AIR-4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne 
Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.
    You can inspect copies of the submitted rule 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 rule 
revisions at the following locations:

Environmental Protection Agency, Air Docket (6102), Ariel Rios 
Building, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460.

Phoenix, AZ 85012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Al Petersen, Rulemaking Office (AIR-
4), Air Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 
Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105; (415)744-1135.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the recisions of 
defunct SIP rules from the PGCAQCD. In the Rules and Regulations 
section of this Federal Register, we are approving the recision of 
these rules in a direct final action without prior proposal because we 
believe this SIP revision is 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 20, 2001.
Mike Schulz,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
