40 CFR Part 52

[CA 273-0370b; FRL-7441-6]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Imperial 
County Air Pollution Control District and Monterey Bay Unified Air 
Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Imperial County 
Air Pollution Control District (ICAPCD) and the Monterey Bay Unified 
Air Pollution Control District (MBUAPCD) portions of the California 
State Implementation Plan (SIP). The ICAPCD revision concerns the 
emission of particulate matter (PM-10) from agricultural burning. The 
MBUAPCD revision concerns the emission of PM-10 from incinerator 
burning. We are proposing to approve local rules that 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 March 3, 2003.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of 
local ICAPCD Rule 701 and MBUAPCD Rule 408. 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: December 12, 2002.
Keith Takata,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
