ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 218-0433b; FRL-7640-8]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Kern 
County 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) portion of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). The KCAPCD revisions concern stack sampling, 
standards for granting applications, and the emission of particulate 
matter (PM-10) from agricultural burning and prescribed burning. We are 
proposing to approve local rules that administer regulations and 
regulate emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 
(CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by May 24, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Mail or e-mail 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 documents (TSDs) at our Region IX office during 
normal business hours. You may also see a copy of the submitted rule 
revisions and TSDs at the following locations:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of 
local KCAPCD Rules 108, 208, and 417. 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: March 8, 2004.
Laura Yoshii,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
