SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 112(l) of the 1990 Clean 
Air Act, EPA is proposing to delegate national emission standards for 
hazardous air pollutants as they apply to non-major sources to the 
following local air pollution control agencies in California: Antelope 
Valley Air Quality Management District, Butte County Air Quality 
Management District, Kern County Air Pollution Control District, 
Mendocino County Air Quality Management District, Mojave Desert Air 
Quality Management District, Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control 
District, San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District, 
Ventura County Air Pollution Control District, and Yolo-Solano Air 
Quality Management District. In the Rules and Regulations section of 
this Federal Register, we are approving these delegations in a direct 
final action without prior proposal because we believe these 
delegations 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 a subsequent action based on this proposed 
rule. Please note that if we receive adverse comments 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: December 2, 2003.
Matt Haber,
Acting Director, Air Division, Region IX.
