ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 207-0277b; FRL-7026-4]


Revision to the California State Implementation Plan, South Coast 
Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the South Coast Air 
Quality Management District (SCAQMD) portion of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns volatile organic 
compound (VOC) emissions from Phase I gasoline transfer into stationary 
storage tanks and Phase II gasoline transfer into vehicle fuel tanks. 
We are proposing to approve a local rule to regulate this emission 
source under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

DATE: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by September 19, 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.
    You can inspect a copy of the submitted rule revision and EPA's 
technical support document (TSD) at our Region IX office during normal 
business hours. You may also see a copy of the submitted rule revision 
at the following locations:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Al Petersen, Rulemaking Office (AIR-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX; (415) 744-1135.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of the 
local SCAQMD Rule 461. 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: July 27, 2001.
Jane Diamond,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
