ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 242-0280b; FRL-6991-5]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Monterey 
Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Monterey Bay 
Unified Air Pollution Control District (MBUAPCD) portion of the 
California State Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns the 
control of emissions of Oxides of Nitrogen (Nox) and sulfur compounds. 
We are proposing to approve a local rule to regulate these emissions 
under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

DATE: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by July 12, 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 revision and EPA's 
technical support document (TSD) at our Region IX office during normal 
business hours. You may also see copies of the submitted SIP revision 
at the following locations:

California Air Resources Board, Stationary Source Division, Rule 
Evaluation Section, 1001 ``I'' Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.
Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District, Rule Development, 
24580 Silver Cloud Ct., Monterey, CA 93940-6536.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christine Vineyard, Rulemaking Office 
(Air-4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, (415) 744-
1197.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rule: MBUAPCD 404, Sulfur Compounds and Nitrogen Oxides. In the Rules 
and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are approving this 
local rule 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: May 8, 2001.
Jane Diamond,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
