ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[NV 045-0070b; FRL-7548-1]


Revisions to the Nevada State Implementation Plan, Clark County 
Air Quality Management Board

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Clark County Air 
Quality Management Board (CCAQMB) portion of the Nevada State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions concern the emission of 
particulate matter (PM-10) from residential wood combustion. We are 
proposing to approve the local rules (building code provisions) 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 October 8, 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; [email protected].
    You can inspect a copy of the submitted rule (building code 
provisions) revisions and EPA's technical support document (TSD) at our 
Region IX office during normal business hours. You may also see a copy 
of the submitted provisions and TSD at the following locations:

Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, (Mail Code 6102T), Room B-102, 1301 Constitution 
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. 20460.
Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, 333 West Nye Lane, Room

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 
local Clark County Building Code, section 3708; City of Las Vegas 
Building Code, section 3708; City of North Las Vegas Building Code, 
section 13.16.150; City of Henderson Building Code section 15.40.010. 
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: July 29, 2003.
Wayne Nastri,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
