[R09-OAR-2005-CA-0002; FRL-7945-1]


Revision to the California State Implementation Plan, Ventura 
County Air Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Ventura County 
Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD) portion of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). Under authority of the Clean Air Act as 
amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act), we are proposing approval of local 
rules that address the opacity standard; PM-10, CO, and SO2 
emissions from industrial processes; and source tests. We are also 
proposing the rescission of local rules that concern exemptions from 
emission standards; analytical methods; and PM-10, CO, and 
SO2 emission standards.

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by September 8, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number R09-OAR-2005-
CA-0002, by one of the following methods:
     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.
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov.

     Mail or deliver: Andrew Steckel (Air-4), U.S.

    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

[[Page 46127]]

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 Web site 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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Al Petersen, Rulemaking Office (AIR-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, (415) 947-4118, 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of 
local VCAPCD Rules 50, 52, 53, 68, 74.25, and 102 and the recision of 
local VCAPCD Rules 55, 60, and 100. 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 time. If we do not 
receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further 
information, please see the direct final action.

    Dated: July 5, 2005.
Jane Diamond,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
