ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Imperial County Air 

Pollution Control District (ICAPCD)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal addresses the following local 

rules: Rule 400.3, Internal Combustion 

Engine(s), and Rule 400.4, Emissions of 

Oxides of Nitrogen from Wallboard 

Kilns. 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.
