Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Feather 
River Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve revisions to the Feather River Air Quality Management District 
(FRAQMD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). 
Included in this approval are the following three SIP demonstrations 
from FRAQMD: 2006 Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) 
Analysis for State Implementation Plan (SIP), November 2006; Reasonably 
Available Control Technology State Implementation Plan Revision 
Negative Declaration for Control Techniques Guidelines Issued 2006-
2008, June 1, 2009; and Reasonably Available Control Technology 
Analysis and Negative Declarations, July 3, 2014. The first two 
demonstrations address the 1997 8-hour National Ambient Air Quality 
Standards (NAAQS) for ozone, and the third demonstration addresses the 
2008 8-hour NAAQS for ozone. The submitted SIPs also contain negative 
declarations for volatile organic compound (VOC) source categories for 
the years 2006, 2009 and 2014. We are proposing to approve the 
submitted SIP revisions under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA 
or the Act). We are also proposing to approve a local rule that 
regulates gasoline dispending facilities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses revisions to the 
FRAQMD portion of the California SIP. In the rules and regulations 
section of the Federal Register, we are approving the three RACT SIP 
revisions in a direct final action without prior proposal because we 
believe these SIP revisions are not controversial. This proposal also 
addresses the following local rule: FRAQMD Rule 3.8, Gasoline 
Dispensing Facilities. 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. Please note that if we receive adverse comment on a 
specific provision of these SIP revisions or the rule, we will publish 
a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule and address the comments 
in a subsequent action. If that provision may be severed from the 
remainder of the SIP revisions or the rule, we may adopt as final those 
provisions of the SIP revisions or 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: April 30, 2015.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
