[R09-OAR-2005-CA-01; FRL-7900-4]


Revision to the California State Implementation Plan, Monterey 
Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District and San Joaquin Valley 
Unified Air Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Monterey Bay 
Unified Air Pollution Control District (MBUAPCD) and San Joaquin Valley 
Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) portions of the 
California State Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions concern the 
emission of particulate matter (PM-10) from open outdoor burning and 
from incinerator burning. We are proposing to approve local rules that 
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 May 25, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number R09-OAR-2005-
CA-01, by one of the following methods:
    1. Agency Web site: http://docket.epa.gov/rmepub/. EPA prefers 
receiving comments through this electronic public docket and comment 
system. Follow the on-line instructions to submit comments.
    2. Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow 
the on-line instructions.
    3. E-mail: [email protected].
    4. Mail or deliver: Andrew Steckel (Air-4), U.S. Environmental

    Instructions: All comments will be included in the public docket 
without change and may be made available online at http://docket.epa.gov/rmepub/, including any personal information provided, 
unless the comment includes Confidential Business Information (CBI) or 
other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Information that you consider CBI or otherwise protected should be 
clearly identified as such and should not be submitted through the 
agency Web site, eRulemaking portal, or e-mail. The agency website and 
eRulemaking portal are ``anonymous access'' systems, and EPA will not 
know your identity or contact information unless you provide it in the 
body of your comment. If you send e-mail directly to EPA, your e-mail 
address will be automatically captured and included as part of the 
public comment. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical 
difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be 
able to consider your comment.
    Docket: The index to the docket for this action is available 
electronically at http://docket.epa.gov/rmepub and in hard copy at EPA 
Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California. While all 
documents in the docket are listed in the index, some information may 
be publicly available only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted 
material), and some may not be publicly available in either location 
(e.g., CBI). To inspect the hard copy materials, please schedule an

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of 
local MBUAPCD Rules 408 and 438 and SJVUAPCD Rule 4103. 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. 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

[[Page 21165]]

time. If we do not receive adverse comments, no further activity is 
planned. For further information, please see the direct final action.

    Dated: March 29, 2005.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
