40 CFR Part 52

[CA242-0291b; FRL-7059-1]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Imperial County 
Air Pollution Control District (ICAPCD) and Monterey Bay Unified Air 
Pollution Control District (MBUAPCD) portions of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern volatile organic 
compound (VOC) emissions from automotive refinishing operations, metal 
parts and products coating, and applications of nonarchitectural 
coatings. 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 November 2, 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;
Imperial County Air Pollution Control District, 150 South 9th 
Street, El Centro, CA 92243; and,
Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District, 24580 Silver 
Cloud Court, Monterey, CA 93940.

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 rules: 
ICAPCD Rule 427, Automotive Refinishing Operations; MBUAPCD Rule 429, 
Applications of Nonarchitectural Coatings; and, MBUAPCD Rule 434, 
Coating of Metal Parts and Products. 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. Since we do not plan to open a second comment period, anyone 
interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not 
receive adverse comments, we are planning no further activity. For 
further information, please see the direct final action.

    Dated: August 24, 2001.
Sally Seymour,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
