ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 207-0435b; FRL-7870-9]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Antelope 
Valley Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Antelope Valley 
Air Quality Management District (AVAQMD) portion of the California 
State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern the permitting 
of air pollution sources. We are proposing to approve local rules under 
the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by March 24, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Gerardo Rios, Permits Office Chief (AIR-3), 
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 SIP revisions and EPA's 
technical support document (TSD) at our Region IX office during normal 
business hours. You may also see copies of the submitted SIP revisions 
and TSD at the following locations: Environmental Protection Agency, 
Air Docket (6102), Ariel Rios Building, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., 
Washington DC 20460. California Air Resources Board, Stationary Source 
Division, Rule Evaluation Section, 1001 ``I'' Street, Sacramento, CA 
95814. Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District, 43301 Division 
Street, 206, Lancaster, CA 93535.

an EPA Web site and may not contain the same version of the rule that

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Manny Aquitania, Permits Office (AIR-
3), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, (415) 972-3977; 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of 
local AVAQMD permitting Rules 201, 203, 204, 205, and 217. 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 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.
    Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, 
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed 
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions 
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

    Dated: January 12, 2005.
Laura Yoshii,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
