[EPA-R09-OAR-2008-0590; FRL-8732-5]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Imperial 
County Air Pollution Control District, Mojave Desert Air Quality 
Management District, South Coast Air Quality Management District, and 
Ventura County Air Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Imperial County 
Air Pollution Control District (ICAPCD), Mojave Desert Air Quality 
Management District (MDAQMD), South Coast Air Quality Management 
District (SCAQMD), and Ventura County Air Pollution Control District 
(VCAPCD) portions of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). 
These revisions concern volatile organic compound emissions from 
storage of reactive organic compound liquids, polyester resin 
operations, coatings of metal parts and products, and adhesives and 
sealants. 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 December 24, 2008.

    In the Rules and Regulations 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: October 2, 2008.
Laura Yoshii,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
