Summary

EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) portions of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). The BAAQMD revisions concern the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the use of solvents and surface coatings. The SJVUAPCD revision concerns the emission of VOCs from a glycol dehydration system used on natural gas streams. We are proposing approval of local rules that regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

Dates

Any comments on this proposal must arrive by September 25, 2003.

Supplementary Information

This proposal addresses the approval of local BAAQMD Rules 8-4 and 8-16 and SJVUAPCD Rule 4408. In the rules 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. 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: June 27, 2003. Jane Diamond, Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX. [FR Doc. 03-21585 Filed 8-25-03; 8:45 am]
