ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 290-0419b; FRL-7565-5]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the San Joaquin 
Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) portion of the 
California State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SJVUAPCD revision 
concerns the emission of particulate matter (PM-10) from wood burning 
fireplaces and wood burning heaters. We are proposing to approve a 
local rule that regulates 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 30, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Andy Steckel, Rulemaking Office Chief (AIR-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne 
Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, or e-mail to [email protected], 
or submit comments at http://www.regulations.gov.
    You can inspect a copy of the submitted rule 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 rule revisions 
and TSD at the following locations:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of 
local SJVUAPCD Rule 4901. In the Rules section of this Federal 
Register, we are approving this local rule 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: September 18, 2003.
Deborah Jordan,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
