SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: SJVUAPCD 4307 Boilers, Steam Generators, and Process Heaters--
2.0 MMBtu/hr to 5.0 MMBtu/hr and SJVUAPCD 4308 Boilers, Steam 
Generators, and Process Heaters--0.075 MMBtu/hr to less than 2.0 MMBtu/
hr. 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.
    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.

    Dated: December 29, 2014.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
