Act).

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information that you

such and should not be submitted through www.regulations.gov or email. 
www.regulations.gov is an ``anonymous access'' system, and the EPA will 
not know your identity or contact information unless you provide it in

the public comment. If the EPA cannot read your comment due to 
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, the 
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 
location (e.g., copyrighted material, large maps), and some may not be 
publicly available in either location (e.g., CBI). To inspect the hard 
copy materials, please schedule an appointment during normal business

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rule: SCAQMD 1130, Graphic Arts. In the Rules and Regulations section 
of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving this local rule in a 
direct final action without prior proposal because the EPA believes 
this SIP revision is not controversial. If the EPA receives adverse 
comments, however, the EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of the 
direct final rule and address the comments in subsequent action based 
on this proposed rule.
    The EPA does not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone 
interested in commenting should do so at this time. If the EPA does not 
receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further 
information, please see the direct final action.

    Dated: June 9, 2015.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
