ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 256-0319b; FRL-7139-3]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Kern County Air 
Pollution Control District (KCAPCD) portion of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns nitrogen oxides 
(NOX) emissions from internal combustion engines. We are 
proposing to approve a local rule that regulates this emission source 
under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by March 28, 2002.

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:

    Environmental Protection Agency, Air Docket (6102), Ariel Rios 
Building, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington DC 20460.
    California Air Resources Board, Stationary Source Division, Rule 
Evaluation Section, 1001 ``I'' Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.
    Kern County Air Pollution Control District, 2700 ``M'' Street, 
Suite 302, Bakersfield, CA 93301.


FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Al Petersen, Rulemaking Office (AIR-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX; (415) 947-4118.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of 
local KCAPCD Rule 427. 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: January 28, 2002.
Wayne Nastri,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
