ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R09-OAR-2015-0542; FRL-9933-53-Region 9]


Revision of Air Quality Implementation Plan; California; Feather 
River Air Quality Management District; Stationary Source Permits

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Feather River 
Air Quality Management District (FRAQMD) portion of the California 
State Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns a permitting 
rule that regulates construction and modifications of major stationary 
sources of air pollution. The revisions correct deficiencies in FRAQMD 
Rule 10.1, New Source Review, previously identified by EPA in a final 
rule dated September 24, 2013. We are proposing to approve revisions 
that correct the identified deficiencies.

DATES: Any comments must arrive by November 4, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPA-R09-OAR-
2015-0542, by one of the following methods:

Protection Agency Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA

    Instructions: All comments will be included in the public docket 
without change and may be made available online at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided, 
unless the comment 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 http://www.regulations.gov or email. http://www.regulations.gov is an

contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. 
If you send email directly to EPA, your email address will be 
automatically captured and included as part of the 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: EPA has established a docket for this action under EPA-R09-
OAR-2015-0542. Generally, documents in the docket for this action are 
available electronically at http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy 
at EPA Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California. While 
all documents are listed at http://www.regulations.gov, some 
information may be publicly available only at the hard copy location 
(e.g., copyrighted material, large maps, multi-volume reports), 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 hours with the contact listed in the FOR FURTHER

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses FRAQMD Rule 10.1, 
New Source Review. 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 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 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: August 21, 2015.
Jared Blumenfeld,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
