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). Under authority of the Clean Air Act 
as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act), we are proposing to approve local 
rules that address permitting requirements.

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by November 30, 2006.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPA-R09-OAR-
2006-0747, by one of the following methods:

Follow the on-line instructions.

Protection Agency Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA

    Instructions: All comments will be included in the public docket 
without change and may be made available online at http://www.regulations.gov, 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 
www.regulations.gov or e-mail. www.regulations.gov is an ``anonymous 
access'' system, 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://www.regulations.gov 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 
appointment during normal business hours with the contact listed in the

4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, (415) 947-4118, 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of 
local AVAQMD Rule 442. In the Rules and Regulations section of this 
Federal Register, we are approving this local rule 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.

    Dated: September 1, 2006.
Laura Yoshii,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
