ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R09-OAR-2022-0221; FRL-9598-01-R9]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; California; 
Correcting Amendments

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On August 28, 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
issued a final rule titled ``Revisions to the California State 
Implementation Plan, Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District.'' 
That publication inadvertently omitted regulatory text rescinding four 
previously approved rules for the Antelope Valley Air Quality 
Management District portion of the California State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). On September 20, 2016, the EPA issued a final rule titled 
``Approval of California Air Plan Revisions, Department of Pesticide 
Regulations.'' That publication listed the wrong EPA approval dates and 
Federal Register citations for certain rules. The EPA is proposing 
action to correct these errors.

DATES: Comments from be received on or before April 25, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R09-
OAR-2022-0221 at https://www.regulations.gov. For comments submitted at 
Regulations.gov, follow the online instructions for submitting 
comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or removed from 
Regulations.gov. 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 identified in 
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. For the full EPA public 
comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, wherever ``we'', 
``us'' or ``our'' are used, we mean the EPA. In the Rules and 
Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are correcting the 
inadvertent omission in our August 28, 2009 direct final rule of 
regulatory text removing four rules from the Antelope Valley Air 
Quality Management District (AQMD) portion of the California SIP. We 
are also correcting the EPA approval dates and Federal Register 
citations for certain rules adopted by the California Department of 
Pesticide Regulations that we approved in a September 20, 2016 final 
rule. We are taking these actions in a direct final action without 
prior proposal because we believe this error correction action is 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.
    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: March 20, 2022.
Martha Guzman Aceves,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
