Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision, San Diego County Air 
Pollution Control District, Ventura County Air Pollution Control 
District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern the control of volatile organic 
compound (VOC) emissions from metal container, metal closure, and metal 
coil coating operations and marine vessel coating operations. The 
intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is

[[Page 59332]]

to regulate emissions of VOCs in accordance with 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 approving 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 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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 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 
December 3, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to: 
Andrew Steckel, Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S.
