CFR Citation: 40 CFR Part 52

EPA ID: [EPA-R09-OAR-2005-0556b; FRL-8046-7]

NOTICE: PROPOSED RULES

ACTION: Air quality implementation plans; approval and promulgation; various States:

DOCUMENT ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUBJECT CATEGORY: Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by April 24, 2006.

DOCUMENT SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from components at petroleum refineries, chemical plants, light crude oil production facilities, and natural gas production and processing facilities. We are proposing to approve local rules to regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

SUMMARY: California,


SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

This proposal addresses SJVUAPCD Rules 4403, 4409, 4451, 4452, and 4455. 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. However, if we receive adverse comments, 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 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: February 16, 2006.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
