40 CFR Part 52

[CA247-0330b; FRL-7220-9]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Santa 
Barbara County Air Pollution Control District, El Dorado County Air 
Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Santa Barbara 
County Air Pollution Control District (SBCAPCD) and El Dorado County 
Air Pollution Control District (EDCAPCD) portion of the California 
State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern volatile 
organic compound (VOC) emissions from crude oil separation and storage 
operations, liquid reactive organic compound storage, and organic 
liquid loading and transport. 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 August 7, 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;
Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District, 26 Castilian 
Drive, Suite B-23, Goleta, CA 93117; and
El Dorado County Air Pollution Control District, 2850 Fairlane Court, 
Building C, Placerville, CA 95667.

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: SBCAPCD Rule 325--Crude Oil Production and Separation, SBCAPCD 
Rule 326--Storage of Reactive Organic Compound Liquids, and EDCAPCD 
Rule 244--Organic Liquid Loading and Transport Vessels. 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: May 2, 2002.
Keith Takata,
Associate Regional Administrator, Region IX.
