36396 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 111 / Thursday, June 8, 2000 / Proposed Rules

may be made by contacting the person

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT.

The Secretary has determined to

proceed with resolving the issue on the

placement, use and removal of fixed

anchors in the wilderness areas on

National Forest System lands through

the negotiated rulemaking process

pursuant to the Negotiated Rulemaking

Act, 5 U.S.C. 561 et seq. An advisory

committee has been established which

consists of an agency representative and

other parties representing a broad cross

section of the interests significantly

affected by the rulemaking. Through a

series of meetings, the members of the

advisory committee are expected to

negotiate in good faith to reach a

consensus on recommendations for a

proposed rule.

The Committee’s meetings will serve

as a forum in which the committee

members can discuss issues involved in

regulating the use of fixed anchors for

recreational climbing purposes in

wilderness areas administered by the

Forest Service. This process is expected

to enable the agency to develop and

promulgate effective regulations

governing the use of these devices

within wilderness areas on National

Forest System lands.

The meetings of the Committee will

be open to the public so that individuals

who are not part of the Committee may

attend and observe. Any person

attending the Committee meetings may

address the Committee, if time permits,

and may file written statements with the

Committee.

Consistent with FACA requirements,

the facilitator must prepare summaries

of each Committee meeting. These

summaries and all documents submitted

to the Committee must be placed in the

rulemaking docket, which is available

for public inspection through the

contact person named in this notice.

Approval and Promulgation of State

Implementation Plans; Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

nine negative declarations submitted by

the State of Indiana on November 8,

1999, and January 10, 2000. Each of

these negative declarations concerns

sources located in Lake and Porter

Counties which are classified as a severe

nonattainment area for the pollutant

ozone. Each of the negative declarations

indicates that the State has searched its

emissions source inventory for Lake and

Porter Counties and determined that

there are no unregulated sources with a

potential to emit 25 tons per year or

more of volatile organic compounds

(VOC) in the following source

categories: aerospace coating operations,

industrial clean up solvents, industrial

wastewater processes, offset

lithographic operations, business

plastics, automotive plastics, and

synthetic organic chemical

manufacturing industries (SOCMI) batch

processes, reactors and distillation

units.

DATES: Written comments must be

received on or before July 10, 2000.

Revisions to the California State

Implementation Plan, Santa Barbara

County Air Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

a revision to the Santa Barbara County

Air Pollution Control District

(SBCAPCD) portion of the California

State Implementation Plan (SIP). This

revision concerns volatile organic

compound (VOC) emissions from metal

parts coating operations. We are

proposing to approve a local rule to

regulate these emission sources under

the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990

(CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal

must arrive by July 10, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Mail comments to Andy

Steckel, Rulemaking Office Chief (AIR–

4), U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne

You can inspect copies of the

submitted SIP revision and EPA’s

technical support document (TSD) at

our Region IX office during normal

business hours. You may also see a copy

of the submitted SIP revision at the

following locations:

California Air Resources Board,

Stationary Source Division, Rule

Evaluation Section, 2020 ‘‘L’’ Street,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

proposal concerns SBCAPCD Rule 330,

Surface Coating of Metal Parts and

Products. In the Rules and Regulations

section of this Federal Register, EPA is

approving this local rule in a direct final

action without prior proposal because

we believe this SIP revisions is not

controversial. However, if we receive

adverse comments, we will publish a

timely withdrawal of the direct final

rule and address the comments in

subsequent action based on this

proposed rule. 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.
