SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve revisions to the El Dorado County Air Quality Management 
District (EDAQMD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). These revisions concern negative declarations for volatile 
organic compound (VOC) source categories for the EDAQMD. We are 
proposing to approve these negative declarations under the Clean Air 
Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

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 email. 
www.regulations.gov is an ``anonymous access'' system, and EPA will not

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. Electronic files should avoid the use of 
special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects 
or viruses.
    Docket: Generally, documents in the docket for this action are 
available electronically at www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA 
Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California 94105-3901. 
While all documents in the docket are listed at www.regulations.gov, 
some information may be publicly available only at the hard copy

    In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we 
are approving these negative declarations in a direct final action 
without prior proposal because we believe these negative declarations 
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 a 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: December 16, 2013.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
