Rules and Regulations. Proposed rule

Agency: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Action: Proposed rule
Citation: FR Doc. 05-3357 · CA 307-0460b; FRL-7874-7 · 40 CFR 52

Summary

EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the El Dorado County Air Quality Management District (EDCAQMD) (Mountain Counties portion), Imperial County Air Pollution Control District (ICAPCD), and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) portions of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions concern an obsolete permitting rule and the storage and transfer of gasoline at dispensing facilities. We are proposing to remove an obsolete local permitting rule and are proposing to approve local rules that regulate volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

Dates

Any comments on this proposal must arrive by March 24, 2005.

Supplementary Information

This proposal addresses the removal of local EDCAQMD Rule 425 and approval of ICAPCD Rule 415 and SCAQMD Rule 461. 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 the direct final rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the direct final 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: December 17, 2004. Wayne Nastri, Regional Administrator, Region IX. [FR Doc. 05-3357 Filed 2-18-05; 8:45 am]
