Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, San 
Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District and South Coast 
Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the San Joaquin 
Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD), and South 
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) portions of the 
California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern 
volatile organic compound (VOC) and oxides of nitrogen ( 
NOX) emissions from equipment tuning procedure for boilers, 
steam generators, and process heaters, pumps and compressor seals at 
petroleum refineries and chemical plants, and residential type, natural 
gas-fired water heaters. 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 December 17, 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 revision 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:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: SJVUAPCD Rule 4304, Equipment Tuning Procedure for Boilers, 
Steam Generators, and Process Heaters,

[[Page 57693]]

SJVUAPCD Rule 4452, Pumps and Compressor Seals at Petroleum Refineries 
and Chemical Plants, and SCAQMD Rule 1121, Control of Nitrogen Oxides 
from Residential Type, Natural Gas-fired Water Heaters. In the Rules 
and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are approving the 
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 3 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: October 22, 2001.
Wayne Nastri,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
