Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD) portions of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from motor vehicle and mobile equipment refinishing coating operations. We are proposing to approve local rules to regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act).

Dates

Any comments on this proposal must arrive by January 7, 2016.

Supplementary Information

Throughout this document, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the EPA. This proposal addresses the following local rules: SCAQMD Rule 1151,“Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Non-Assembly Line Coating Operations,” and YSAQMD Rule 2.26, “Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Coating Operations”. 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 a particular rule, we may adopt as final the rule that is 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: November 5, 2015. Jared Blumenfeld, Regional Administrator, Region IX. [FR Doc. 2015-30825 Filed 12-7-15; 8:45 am]
