Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; California State Implementation Plan Revision; Bay Area Air Quality Management District; San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District; South Coast Air Quality Management District AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Final rule.

----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing the approval of revisions to the California State Implementation Plan (SIP) proposed in the Federal Register on September 28, 1992, and September 11, 1992. The revisions concern rules from the following districts: Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD); San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD); and South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). This approval action will incorporate these rules into the federally approved SIP. The intended effect of approving these rules is to regulate emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). The revised rules control VOC emissions from petroleum dry cleaners, rubber tire manufacturers, and wood flat stock coating operations. Thus, EPA is finalizing the approval of these revisions into the California SIP under provisions of the CAA regarding EPA action on SIP submittals, SIPs for national primary and secondary ambient air quality standards and plan requirements for nonattainment areas. EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is effective on July 25, 1994. ADDRESSES: Copies of the rule revisions and EPA's evaluation report for each rule are available for public inspection at EPA's Region IX office during normal business hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The three rules being finalized in this document were adopted by their respective agencies, submitted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to EPA, and proposed for approval into the California SIP by EPA on the following dates: BAAQMD Regulation 8, Rule 17, Petroleum Dry Cleaning Operations

- adopted September 5, 1990, submitted April 5, 1991, and proposed September 28, 1992 (57 FR 44542); SJVUAPCD Rule 468.1, Rubber Tire Manufacturing Operations

adopted May 16, 1991, submitted October 25, 1991, and proposed September 11, 1992 (57 FR 41716); and SCAQMD Rule 1104, Wood Flat Stock Coating Operations

adopted March 1, 1991, submitted October 25, 1991, and proposed September 11, 1992 (57 FR 41716). These rules were submitted in response to EPA's 1988 SIP

- Call and the CAA section 182(a)(2)(A) requirement that nonattainment areas fix their reasonably available control technology (RACT) rules for ozone in accordance with EPA guidance that interpreted the requirements of the pre - amendment Act. A detailed discussion of the background for each of the above rules and nonattainment areas is provided in the notices of proposed rulemakings (NPRMs) cited above. EPA has evaluated all of the above rules for consistency with the requirements of the CAA and EPA regulations and EPA interpretation of these requirements as expressed in the various EPA policy guidance documents referenced in the NPRMs cited above. EPA has found that the rules meet the applicable EPA requirements. A detailed discussion of the rule provisions and evaluations has been provided in 57 FR 44542 and 57 FR 41716 and in technical support documents (TSDs) available at EPA's Region IX office (TSDs dated June 1992, BAAQMD Regulation 8, Rule 17; June 1992, SJVUAPCD Rule 468.1; and May 1992, SCAQMD Rule 1104). Response to Public Comments Both proposals provided 30

- day public comment periods (57 FR 44542 and 57 FR 41716), and EPA received no comments on its proposals to approve these revisions. EPA Action EPA is finalizing action to approve the above rules for inclusion into the California SIP. EPA is approving the submittal under section 110(k)(3) as meeting the requirements of section 110(a) and part D of the CAA. This approval action will incorporate these rules into the federally approved SIP. The intended effect of approving these rules is to regulate emissions of VOCs in accordance with the requirements of the CAA. Final approval of SJVUAPCD Rule 468.1 corrects the finding of nonsubmittal published in the Federal Register on October 22, 1991 (56 FR 54554) for Kings County. Nothing in this action should be construed as permitting or

...allowing or establishing a precedent for any future request for revision to any state implementation plan. Each request for revision to the state implementation plan shall be considered separately in light of specific technical, economic, and environmental factors and in relation to relevant statutory and regulatory requirements. Regulatory Process This action has been classified as a Table 2 action by the Regional Administrator under the procedures published in the Federal Register on January 19, 1989 (54 FR 2214

- 2225), as revised by an October 4, 1993, memorandum from Michael H. Shapiro, Acting Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation. A future document will inform the general public of these tables. On January 6, 1989, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) waived Table 2 and Table 3 SIP revisions (54 FR 222) from the requirements of section 3 of Executive Order 12291 for 2 years. The EPA has submitted a request for a permanent waiver for Table 2 and Table 3 SIP revisions. The OMB has agreed to continue the waiver until such time as it rules on EPA's request. This request continues in effect under Executive Order 12866 which superseded Executive Order 12291 on September 30, 1993.
