ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 173-0044b; FRL-5867-4]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision, Sacramento Metropolitan 
Air Quality Management District and Santa Barbara County Air Pollution 
Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to act on revisions to the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) consisting of two volatile organic compound 
(VOC) negative declarations from the Sacramento Metropolitan Air 
Quality Management District for Plastic Parts Coating: Business 
Machines and Plastic Parts Coating: Other and six negative declarations 
from the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District for the 
following VOC source categories: Industrial Wastewater, Plastic Parts 
Coating: Business Machines, Plastic Parts Coating: Other, Industrial 
Cleaning Solvents, Offset Lithography, and Shipbuilding Coatings. The 
intended effect of proposing to include these negative declarations in 
the SIP is to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 
1990 (CAA or the Act). In the Final Rules Section of this Federal 
Register, the EPA is acting on the state's SIP revision as a direct 
final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no adverse 
comments. A rationale for this action 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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn 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 institute a 
second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in 
commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
September 2, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to: 
Julie A. Rose, Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, San 
Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
    Copies of the negative declarations are available for public 
inspection at EPA's Region 9 office and at the following locations 
during normal business hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document concerns negative declarations 
for VOC source categories from the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality 
Management District (SMAQMD) and the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution 
Control District (SBCAPCD). On June 6, 1996, the SMAQMD submitted two 
negative declarations for the following VOC source categories: Plastic 
Parts Coating: Business Machines and Plastic Parts Coating: Other. On 
July 12, 1996, the SBCAPCD submitted six negative declarations for the 
following VOC source categories: Industrial Wastewater, Plastic Parts: 
Business Machines, Plastic Parts: Other, Industrial Cleaning Solvents, 
Offset Lithography, and Shipbuilding Coating. These negative 
declarations confirm that the respective source categories are not 
present in the SMAQMD or the SBCAPCD. The negative declarations were 
submitted to EPA by the California Air Resources Board as revisions to 
the SIP on the dates indicated.
    For further information, please see the information provided in the 
Direct Final action which is located in the Rules Section of this
