Note 2: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

modified, altered, or repaired in the area

subject to the requirements of this AD. For

airplanes that have been modified, altered, or

repaired so that the performance of the

requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must request approval for an

alternative method of compliance in

accordance with paragraph (d) of this AD.

The request should include an assessment of

the effect of the modification, alteration, or

repair on the unsafe condition addressed by

this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not

been eliminated, the request should include

specific proposed actions to address it.

Compliance: Required as indicated in the

body of this AD, unless already

accomplished.

To prevent outflow/safety valve cracking

and consequent failure, which could result in

rapid decompression of the airplane,

accomplish the following:

(a) For the airplanes referenced in the

‘‘Airplane Models and Serial Numbers That

Are Equipped with Allied Signal Outflow

Valves’’ table that is included in the

‘‘Applicability’’ section of this AD: Within

the next 4 months after the effective date of

this AD, replace (with a new or serviceable

valve) any outflow/safety valve that does not

have one of the following:

(1) The valve identification plate MOD

RECORD stamped ‘‘PCA’’ (Poppet Change

Accomplished); or

(2) A valve with an inked ATD Quality

Assurance ‘‘Functional Test (FT)’’ stamp that

is dated June 1992, or later.

(b) For all airplanes: As of the effective

date of this AD, no person may install on any

affected airplane any outflow/safety valve

that is referenced in the ‘‘Applicable Outflow

Safety Valves With Applicable Airplane

Models’’ table that is included in the

‘‘Applicability’’ section of this AD.

(c) Special flight permits may be issued in

accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199

of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to

a location where the requirements of this AD

can be accomplished.

(d) An alternative method of compliance or

adjustment of the compliance time that

provides an equivalent level of safety may be

approved by the Manager, Wichita Aircraft

Certification Office (ACO), 1801 Airport

Road, Room 100, Mid-Continent Airport,

Wichita, Kansas 67209. The request shall be

forwarded through an appropriate FAA

Maintenance Inspector, who may add

comments and then send it to the Manager,

Wichita ACO.

Note 3: Information concerning the

existence of approved alternative methods of

compliance with this AD, if any, may be

obtained from the Wichita ACO.

(e) All persons affected by this directive

may obtain copies of the documents referred

to herein upon request to AlliedSignal

Aerospace, Technical Publications,

Department 65–70, P.O. Box 52170, Phoenix,

Arizona 85072–2170; or may examine these

Approval and Promulgation of Air

Quality Implementation Plans;

Maryland; Control of Volatile Organic

Compound Emissions From

Degreasing Operations and Vehicle

Refinishing, and Definition of Motor

Vehicle

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

the State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revisions submitted by the State of

Maryland for the purpose of establishing

volatile organic compound (VOC)

emission control requirements for

degreasing operations and vehicle

refinishing. EPA is also proposing to

approve the SIP revision submitted by

the State of Maryland that establishes a

definition for the term ‘‘motor vehicle.’’

In the final rules section of this Federal

Register, EPA is approving the State’s

SIP revisions as a direct final rule

without prior proposal because the

Agency views them as noncontroversial

SIP revisions and anticipates no adverse

comments. A detailed rationale for the

approval is set forth in the direct final

rule. If no adverse comments are

received in response to this proposed

rule, no further activity is contemplated

in relation to this rule. If EPA receives

adverse comments, the direct final rule

will be withdrawn and all public

comments received will be addressed in

a subsequent final rule based on this

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a

second comment period on this action.

Any parties interested in commenting

on this action should do so at this time.

Implementation Plans; California State

Implementation Plan Revision, Bay

Area Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

revisions to the California State

Implementation Plan (SIP). This action

is an administrative change which

revises the definition of volatile organic

compounds (VOC) and updates the

Exempt Compound list in rules from the

Bay Area Air Quality Management

The intended effect of proposing

approval of this action is to incorporate
41906 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 149 / Monday, August 4, 1997 / Proposed Rules

changes to the definition of VOC and to

update the Exempt Compound list in

BAAQMD rules to be consistent with

the revised federal and state VOC

definitions. EPA is proposing approval

of these revisions to be incorporated

into the California SIP for the

attainment of the national ambient air

quality standards (NAAQS) for ozone

under title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA

or the Act). In the Final Rules Section

of this Federal Register, the EPA is

approving the state’s SIP revisions as a

direct final rule without prior proposal

because the Agency views these

administrative changes as

noncontroversial revision amendments

and anticipates no adverse comments. A

detailed rationale for this approval is set

forth in the direct final rule. If no

adverse comments are received in

response to this proposed rule, no

further activity is contemplated in

relation to this rule. If EPA receives

adverse comments, the direct final rule

will be withdrawn and all public

comments received will be addressed in

a subsequent final rule based on this

proposed rule. The EPA will not

Clean Air Act Approval and

Promulgation of State Implementation

Plans; Vermont: PM10 Prevention of

Significant Deterioration Increments

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing full

approval of a State Implementation Plan

(SIP) revision submitted by the State of

Vermont, which replaces the total

suspended particulate (TSP) prevention

of significant (PSD) increments with

increments for PM10 (particulate matter

with an aerodynamic diameter smaller

than or equal to a nominal 10

micrometers). This action is being taken

under the Clean Air Act. In the Final

Rules Section of this Federal Register,

EPA is approving the Vermont’s SIP

revision as a direct final rule without

prior proposal because the Agency

views this as a noncontroversial

revision and anticipates no adverse

comments. A detailed rationale for the

approval is set forth in the direct final

rule. If no adverse comments are

received in response to that direct final

rule, no further activity is contemplated

in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA

does receive adverse comments, the

direct final rule will be withdrawn and

all public comments received will be

addressed in a subsequent final rule

based on this proposed rule. EPA will

not institute a second comment period

on this proposal. Any parties interested

in commenting on this proposal should
