          - 40 CFR Part 52
          - [EPA-R09-OAR-2011-0987; FRL-9617-5]

# AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

# ACTION:

Proposed rule.

# SUMMARY:

                        EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District (AVAQMD) and Imperial County Air Pollution Control District (ICAPCD) portions of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern oxides of nitrogen (NOX) emissions from stationary gas turbines. We are proposing to approve local rules to regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    This proposal addresses the following local rules: AVAQMD Rule 1134, Stationary Gas Turbines and ICAPCD Rule 400.1, Stationary Gas Turbine(s)—Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT). 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 27, 2011.

Jared Blumenfeld,

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
