[CA032-02-0241b; FRL-7001-3]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Kern County Air 
Pollution Control District (KCAPCD), Modoc County Air Pollution Control 
District (MCAPCD), and Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution District 
(MBUAPCD) portions of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). 
These revisions concern visible emissions (VE) emissions from many 
different sources of air pollution. 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 16, 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerald S. Wamsley, Rulemaking Office 
(Air-4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, (415) 744-
1226.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: KCAPCD Rule 401--Visible Emissions, MCAPCD Rule 4.1--Visible 
Emissions, and MBUAPCD Rule 400--Visible Emissions. 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. However, if we 
receive adverse comments, 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 8, 2001.
Keith Takata,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
