ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 309-0468b; FRL-7834-4]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Imperial 
County Air Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Imperial County 
Air Pollution Control District (ICAPCD) portion of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern the emission of 
particulate matter (PM-10) and sulfur compounds into the atmosphere 
from industrial processes. We are proposing to approve local rules that 
administer regulations and regulate emission sources under the Clean 
Air Act as amended (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by December 16, 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 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 following local 
rules: ICAPCD Rules 403 and 405. 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. Please note that if we receive adverse comment 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: October 13, 2004.
Keith Takata,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
