40 CFR Part 52

[CA 241-0239b; FRL-7005-2]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Bay Area 
Air Quality Management District and El Dorado 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 (BAAQMD) and El Dorado County Air Pollution 
Control District (EDCAPCD) portions of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern volatile organic 
compound (VOC) emissions from polyester resin operations and the 
manufacture of foam products composed of polystyrene, polyethylene or 
polypropylene. 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 August 13, 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, 1001 ``I'' Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.
Bay Area Air Quality Management District, 939 Ellis Street, San 
Francisco, CA 94109.
El Dorado County Air Pollution Control District, 2830 Fairlane Ct., 
Bldg. C, Placerville, CA 95667.

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 
rules: BAAQMD 8-52 and EDCAPCD 240. 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: June 6, 2001.
Jane Diamond,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
