Rules 450, Sulfide Emission Standards for iraft Pulp Mills; 455(b), Geothermal Operations-Power 'Plant

Emissions; 455(c), Geothermal Operations-Pre-Power Emissions; and Appendix B to Regulation 1, Sonoma

County Geothermal Zone I, are not appropriate for inclusion in the SIP because they would regulate a pollutant

for which there is no NAAQS.

The 'State has submitted revisions -to

Rule 490 and Regulation 3, concerning

New Source Performance Standards.

These revisions implement Section 111

of the Clean Air Act and are not appropriate for inclusion in the -SIP

disapprovedby EPA as part of an applicable implementation plan. They

will, however, be reviewed under the

appropriate provisions of Section 111,

and will be acted upon in a separate

FEDERAL REGIsTm notice.

The California Air Resources Board

has certified that the public hearing

requirements of 40 CFR 51.4 have

been satisfied.

matter control. A listing of the rules submitted and

being considered in this FEDERAL RzGisrra notice was included in the June

2, 1978 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. The rules listed were revised to

correct deficiencies, add clarity and to

make needed additions. All of the rule

revisions were evaluated as to their

consistency with the Clean Air Act, 40

CFR Part 51 and EPA policy.

- The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

proVided for a 30-day comment period.

No comments were received concerning either the San Bernardino County

Desert or the Riverside County

APCDs.

Under Section 110 of the Clean Air

Act as amended and 40 CFR Part 51,

the Administrator is required to approve or disapprove regulations submitted as SIP revisions.

It is the purpose of this Notice to approve the rules listed in the Notice of

Proposed Rulemaking, and to incorporate them into the California SIP,

with the exception of those rules

noted below.

Rule 102, Definition of Terms is approved for the San Bernardino County

Desert APCD with the exception of

the definition for the new term "Agricultural Burning" as discussed below

-and definitions pertaining to orchard

heaters. The deletion by omission

from the comprehensive November 4,

1977 submittal of definitions pertainIng to Regulation VT, Orchard or Citrus Grove Heater is disapproved.

These definitions are necessary for interpretation of Regulation VI, submitted on February 21, 1972, which has

been retained (43 FR 40011) as part of

the SIP for this district. Previously approved (37 FR 10842) Rule 2, Definitions, is retained with respect to the

following terms: Distilling type heater,

Non-complying .orchard heater, Pipe

line systems, and Return stack heater.

Rule 444, Open Fire,% and the associated definition in Rule 102, "Agricultural Burning" (both submitted for

the San Bernardino County Desert

APCD), are disapproved because they.

would allow increased open burning.

No control strategy demonstration has

been submitted to show how this increased potential for fires would not

interfere with attainment and mainte- nance of the National Ambient Air

Quality Standards (NAAQS). Rule 57,

Open Fires, submitted February 21,

1972 and approved (37 FR 10842), is

retained as part of the SIP.

No action is being taken on Rule 301,

Permit Fees, submitted for the San

Bernardino County Desert APCD. Nor

is action being taken on Rules 42,

Hearing Board Fees, and 43, Analysis

Fees, which were deleted by omission

from the November 4, 1977 submittal

Action on these rules will be taken in a future FEDRAL Racsran notice.

No action is being taken on the deletion of Rule 73, Dry Sandblasting, submitted for the San Bernardino County

Desert APCD, because this rule is not

part of the Federally approved SIP
