ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 63

[FRL-5932-2]


Approval of Section 112(l) Authority for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants; Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for Dry Cleaning 
Facilities; State of California; San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution 
Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 112(l) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and 
through the California Air Resources Board, San Luis Obispo County Air 
Pollution Control District (SLOCAPCD) requested approval to implement 
and enforce its ``Rule 432: Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Operations'' 
(Rule 432) in place of the ``National Perchloroethylene Air Emission 
Standards for Dry Cleaning Facilities'' (dry cleaning NESHAP) for area 
sources under SLOCAPCD's jurisdiction. In the Rules section of this 
Federal Register, EPA is granting SLOCAPCD the authority to implement 
and enforce Rule 432 in place of the dry cleaning NESHAP for area 
sources under SLOCAPCD's jurisdiction as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
action 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 
January 9, 1998.
