ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[R09-OAR-2005-CA-0004; FRL-7932-4]


Correction to the California State Implementation Plan, South 
Coast Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to delete a provision from the California 
State Implementation Plan (SIP) that was approved into the SIP in 
error. This provision is part of a rule concerning emissions of 
volatile organic compounds (VOC) from solvent cleaning operations. EPA 
has determined that the continued presence of this provision in the SIP 
is potentially confusing and thus harmful to affected sources, local 
agencies and to EPA. The intended effect of this proposal is to delete 
this provision and make the federally enforceable SIP consistent with 
the SIP as adopted and submitted by the State of California.

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by August 1, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number R09-OAR-2005-
CA-0004, 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

    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 website, 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

Region IX, (415) 972-3956, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses South Coast Air 
Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1171. In the Rules and 
Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are taking direct 
final action to delete a provision from this rule under section 
110(k)(6) of the Clean Air Act, which provides EPA authority to correct 
the SIP without additional State submission. We are deleting this 
provision without prior proposal because we believe this SIP correction 
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.

    Dated: June 16, 2005.
Wayne Nastri,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
