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

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by September 18, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPA-R09-OAR-

    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.
