without change. We may make 

comments available online at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be CBI or other information 

for which disclosure is restricted by 

statute. Do not submit information that 

you consider to be CBI or that is 

otherwise protected through http:// 

www.regulations.gov or email. The 

http://www.regulations.gov web site is 

an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, which 

means EPA will not know your identity 

or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

If you send an email comment directly 

to EPA, without going through http:// 

www.regulations.gov, we will include 

your email address as part of the 

comment that is placed in the public 

docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should not 

include special characters or any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses.

December 21, 2012, relies on 

documents, information and data that 

are listed in the index on http://

of the disk or CD–ROM as CBI and 

identify electronically within the disk or

Rule 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

a revision to the South Coast Air Quality 

Management District (SCAQMD) portion 

of the California State Implementation 

Plan (SIP). Under authority of the Clean 

Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the 

Act), we are proposing to approve local 

rules that address volatile organic 

compound (VOC) emissions from 

municipal solid waste landfills and 

livestock waste. We are taking 

comments on this proposal and plan to 

follow with a final action. 

DATES: Any comments must arrive by 

March 6, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, 

identified by docket number, EPA–R09– 

OAR–2012–0728, by one of the

Docket: The index to the docket for 

this action is available electronically at 

www.regulations.gov and in hard copy 

at EPA Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street,

The State’s Submittal 

A. What rules did the State submit? 

Table 1 lists the rules we are 

approving with the dates that they were 

adopted by the local air agency and 

submitted by the California Air 

Resources Board (CARB). 

TABLE 1—SUBMITTED RULES

Local agency Rule # Rule title Adopted Submitted 

SCAQMD ..................................... 1150 .1 Control of Gaseous Emissions from Municipal Solid 

Waste Landfills.

04/01/11 09/27/11 

SCAQMD ..................................... 1127 Emissions Reductions from Livestock Waste ................. 08/06/04 10/05/06 

On October 24, 2011 and October 24, 

2006, EPA determined that the 

submittals for SCAQMD Rules 1150.1 

and 1127, respectively, met the 

completeness criteria in 40 CFR part 51 

Appendix V, which must be met before 

formal EPA review. 

B. Are there other versions of these 

rules? 

We approved an earlier version of 

Rule 1150.1 into the SIP on July 1, 2002 

(67 FR 44062). SCAQMD adopted 

revisions to the SIP-approved version on 

April 1, 2011 and CARB submitted them 

to us on September 27, 2011. 

C. What is the purpose of the submitted 

rule and rule revision? 

VOCs help produce ground-level 

ozone and smog, which harm human 

health and the environment. Section 

110(a) of the CAA requires States to 

submit regulations that control VOC 

emissions. EPA’s technical support 

documents (TSD) have more 

information about these rules. 

SCAQMD Rule 1150.1, ‘‘Control of 

Gaseous Emissions from Municipal 

Solid Waste Landfills,’’ is an amended 

rule that regulates landfill gas 

emissions. The submitted rule applies to 

both active and inactive municipal solid 

waste (MSW) landfills and defines an 

active MSW landfill as one that has 

received solid waste on or after 

November 8, 1987. 

The two previous versions of Rule 

1150.1 (April 10, 1998 and March 10, 

2000) focused on controlling VOC 

emissions, as well as toxic air 

contaminant (TAC) emissions. 

SCAQMD’s intent was to reduce the 

contribution of these pollutants to 

atmospheric ozone, avoid public 

nuisance complaints from odorous 

compounds, and prevent the detriment 

to public health caused by such 

emissions.
