40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R09-OAR-2016-0070 FRL-9945-23-Region 9]


Approval of California State Air Plan Revisions, Eastern Kern Air 
Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve revisions to the Eastern Kern Air Pollution Control District 
(EKAPCD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). 
These revisions concern administrative changes of a previously approved 
regulation and emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from 
aerospace coating assembly and coating operations and metal, plastic 
and pleasure craft parts and products coating operations. We are 
proposing to approve local rules to regulate these activities under the 
Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by June 16, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R09-
OAR-2016-0070 at http://www.regulations.gov, or via email to 
[email protected]. For comments submitted at Regulations.gov, 
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, 
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either 
manner of submission, the EPA may publish any comment received to its 
public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you 
consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia 
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written 
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and 
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA will 
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of 
the primary submission (i.e., on the Web, cloud, or other file sharing 
system). For additional submission methods, please contact the person

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, ``we,'' ``us'' and 
``our'' refer to the EPA. This proposal addresses the following EKAPCD 
rules: Rule 103.1, ``Inspection of Public Records,'' Rule 410.4, 
``Metal, Plastic, and Pleasure Craft Parts and Products Coating 
Operations,'' and Rule 410.8, ``Aerospace Assembly and Coating 
Operations.'' In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal 
Register, we are approving these local rules 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 subsequent action based on this proposed rule. Please note that if 
we receive adverse comment on a particular rule, we may adopt as final 
those rules 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 4, 2016.
Jared Blumenfeld,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
