CFR Citation: 40 CFR Part 52

EPA ID: [EPA-R09-OAR-2008-0337; FRL-8565-1]

NOTICE: PROPOSED RULES

ACTION: California State Implementation Plan:

DOCUMENT ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUBJECT CATEGORY: Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, South Coast Air Quality Management District

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by August 4, 2008.

DOCUMENT SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern oxides of nitrogen (NOX) and oxides of sulfur (SOX) emissions from facilities emitting 4 tons or more per year of NOX or SOX in the year 1990 or in any subsequent year under the SCAQMD's Regional Clean Air Incentives Market (RECLAIM) program. We are approving local rules that regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

SUMMARY: South Coast Air Quality Management District,


SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

This proposal addresses the following SCAQMD rules: Rule 2004, Rule 2007, and Rule 2010. 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 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: April 22, 2008.
Laura Yoshii,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
