Summary

EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns the definition of volatile organic compounds (VOC). We are approving a local rule that helps regulate VOCs under the Clean Air Act, as amended (CAA or the Act).

Dates

Any comments on this proposal must arrive by September 10, 2012.

Supplementary Information

This proposal addresses the following local rule: Rule 101. In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register , we are approving this local rule in a direct final action without prior proposal because we believe this SIP revision 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 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: May 10, 2012. Jared Blumeneld, Regional Administrator, Region IX. [FR Doc. 2012-19314 Filed 8-8-12; 8:45 am]
