[EPA-R09-OAR-2007-1074, FRL-8537-9]


Partial Removal of Direct Final Rule Revising the California 
State Implementation Plan, Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control 
District and San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Partial removal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On January 2, 2008 (73 FR 48), EPA published a direct final 
approval of revisions to the California State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). These revisions concerned local rules that address 
circumvention, reduction of animal matter, and volatile organic 
compound (VOC) emissions from gasoline bulk storage tanks, gasoline 
filling stations, petroleum refinery equipment, and petroleum solvent 
dry cleaning. The direct final action was published without prior 
proposal because EPA anticipated no adverse comment. The direct final 
rule stated that if adverse comments were received by February 1, 2008, 
EPA would publish a timely removal in the Federal Register. EPA 
received a timely adverse comment. Consequently, with this revision we 
are removing the direct final approval of SJVAPCD Rules 4104, 4402, 
4404, 4453, 4454, 4625, 4641, and 4672. EPA will either address the 
comments in a subsequent final action based on the parallel proposal 
also published on January 2, 2008 (73 FR 48) or repropose an 
alternative action. As stated in the parallel proposal, EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on a subsequent final action. The 
other rules, MBUAPCD Rules 415, 418, and 1002, approved in the January 
2, 2008 direct final action, are not affected by this removal and are 
incorporated into the SIP as of the original effective date of March 3, 
2008.

DATES: The addition of 40 CFR 52.220(c)(351)(i)(C) published at 73 FR 
48 on (January 2, 2008) is removed effective March 13, 2008.

this action. The index to the docket is available electronically at
