40 CFR Part 52

[CA 287-0410b; FRL-7548-4]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Kern 
County Air Pollution Control District and San Joaquin Valley Unified 
Air Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Kern County Air 
Pollution Control District (KCAPCD) and San Joaquin Valley Unified Air 
Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) portions of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). The KCAPCD revisions concern the emission of 
particulate matter (PM-10) from agricultural burning and prescribed 
burning. The SJVUAPCD revision concerns the emission of oxides of 
nitrogen (NOX) from lime kilns. 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 October 6, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Mail comments to Andy Steckel, Rulemaking Office Chief (AIR-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of 
local KCAPCD Rule 417 and SJVUAPCD Rule 4313. 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 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. 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: August 7, 2003.
Debbie Jordan,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
