ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 250-0331b; FRL-7165-5]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Lake 
County Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Lake County Air 
Quality Management District (LCAQMD) portion of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns particulate matter 
(PM-10) emissions from open fires and prescribed burning. We are 
proposing to approve local rules that regulate 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 July 15, 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:

Building, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington DC 20460.

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 the 
local LCAQMD Sections [Rules] 203, 204.5, 208.3, 208.8, 226.4, 226.5, 
240.8, 246, 248.3, 248.5, 249.5, 251.7, 270, 431, 431.5, 433, 434, 
1000, 1001, 1003, 1105, 1107, 1130, 1140, 1145, 1150, 1160, and 1170. 
In the Rules section of this Federal Register, we are approving these 
local rules 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: March 14, 2002.
Laura Yoshii,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
