ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 151-0449b; FRL-7660-5]


Revisions to the California and Nevada State Implementation 
Plans, Ventura County Air Pollution Control District and Clark County 
Department of Air Quality Management

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Ventura County 
Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD) portion of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) and the Clark County Department of Air 
Quality Management (CCDAQM) portion of the Nevada SIP. These revisions 
concern ozone and particulate matter ambient air quality standards and 
the control of sulfur dioxide through the acid deposition program. We 
are proposing to approve local rules to 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 June 21, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Andy Steckel, Rulemaking Office Chief (AIR-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne 
Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901, or e-mail to 
[email protected], or submit comments at http://www.regulations.gov.
    You can inspect copies of the submitted SIP revisions, EPA's 
technical support documents (TSDs), and public comments at our Region 
IX office during normal business hours by appointment. You may also see 
copies of the submitted SIP revisions by appointment at the following 
locations:

    California Air Resources Board, Stationary Source Division, Rule 
Evaluation Section, 1001 ``I'' Street, Sacramento, CA 95814

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Julie A. Rose, EPA Region IX, (415) 
947-4126, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: VCAPCD Rule 35 and CCDAQM Section 11. In the Rules and 
Regulations 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: April 27, 2004.
Wayne Nastri,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
