ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 245-0311b; FRL-7202-2]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Bay Area 
Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Bay Area Air 
Quality Management District (BAAQMD) portion of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns emissions of nitrogen 
oxides (NOX) and carbon monoxide (CO) from electric power 
generating steam boilers. We are proposing to approve a local rule 
under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by June 19, 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 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 
and TSD at the following locations:

Evaluation Section, 1001 ``I'' Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.

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 BAAQMD Rule 9-11. 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 rule.

    Dated: April 17, 2002.
Keith Takata,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
