40 CFR Part 52

[CA 243-0357b; FRL-7232-7]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan; Bay Area 
Air Quality Management District; South Coast Air Quality Management 
District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the portions of the 
California State Implementation Plan (SIP) that are associated with the 
Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and South Coast Air 
Quality Management District (SCAQMD). These revisions concern volatile 
organic compound emissions from solid waste disposal sites. 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 July 31, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Mail comments to Andy Steckel, Rulemaking Office Chief (AIR-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: BAAQMD Rule 8-34 and SCAQMD Rule 1150.1. 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, 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 this rule and if that 
provision may be severed from the remainder of the 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 action.

    Dated: June 6, 2002.
Laura Yoshii,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 9.
