40 CFR Part 52

[CA247-0325b; FRL-7201-7]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, South 
Coast Air Quality Management District, and Ventura County Air Pollution 
Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

[[Page 36137]]


ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the South Coast Air 
Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and Ventura County Air Pollution 
Control District (VCAPCD) portions of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern volatile organic 
compound (VOC) emissions from solvent usage and graphic arts 
operations. 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 June 24, 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 94105-3901.
    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;
South Coast Air Quality Management District, 21865 East Copley 
Drive, Diamond Bar, CA 91765-4182; and,
Ventura County Air Pollution Control District, 669 County Square 
Drive, Ventura, CA 93003.


FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerald S. Wamsley, Rulemaking Office 
(Air-4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, (415) 947-
4111.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: SCAQMD 442--Usage of Solvants and VCAPCD 74.19--Graphics Arts. 
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. 
If we receive adverse comments on the direct final rule, however, we 
will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule and address 
the comments in subsequent action based on this proposed rule. Please 
note that if we receive adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or 
section of the direct final rule and if that provision may be severed 
from the remainder of the direct final rule, we may adopt as final 
those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse 
comment.
    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 15, 2002.
Keith A. Takata,
Associate Regional Administrator, Region IX.
