ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 307-0460b; FRL-7874-7]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, El Dorado 
County Air Quality Management District (Mountain Counties Portion), 
Imperial County Air Pollution Control District, and South Coast Air 
Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the El Dorado County 
Air Quality Management District (EDCAQMD) (Mountain Counties portion), 
Imperial County Air Pollution Control District (ICAPCD), and the South 
Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) portions of the 
California State Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions concern an 
obsolete permitting rule and the storage and transfer of gasoline at 
dispensing facilities. We are proposing to remove an obsolete local 
permitting rule and are proposing to approve local rules that regulate 
volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions 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: 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the removal of local 
EDCAQMD Rule 425 and approval of ICAPCD Rule 415 and SCAQMD Rule 461. 
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 the 
direct final rule and if that provision may be severed from the 
remainder of the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the 
direct final 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 17, 2004.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
