ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 248-0288b; FRL-7028-8]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, El Dorado 
County Air Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the El Dorado County 
Air Pollution Control District (EDCAPCD) portion of the California 
State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern volatile 
organic compound (VOC) emissions from Phase I gasoline transfer into 
stationary storage tanks/Phase II gasoline transfer into vehicle fuel 
tanks, organic liquid loading, and valves and flanges. We are proposing 
to approve local rules and proposing to approve the recision of local 
rules that regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act as 
amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). We are also proposing to approve a 
negative declaration that concerns VOC emissions from bulk terminal 
facilities or external or internal floating roof tank sources.

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by September 26, 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 copies of the submitted rule revisions and EPA's 
technical support document (TSD) at our Region IX office during normal 
business hours. You may also see copies of the submitted rule revisions 
and TSD 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 EDCAPCD Rules 238, 244, and 245, the recision of local EDCAPCD 
Rules 900 through 914, and approval of a Negative Declaration 
concerning Bulk Terminal Facilities or External or Internal Floating 
Roof Tank Sources. In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal 
Register, we are approving and rescinding 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: July 31, 2001.
Jane Diamond,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
