40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R09-OAR-2010-0286; FRL-9138-7]

 
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Yolo 
Solano Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Yolo-Solano Air 
Quality Management District (YSAQMD) portion of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern oxides of nitrogen 
(NOx) emissions from natural gas-fired water heaters, small boilers and 
nitric acid production facilities. 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).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by June 9, 2010.

    Instructions: All comments will be included in the public docket 
without change and may be made available online at www.regulations.gov, 
including any personal information provided, unless the comment 
includes Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information 
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information that you 
consider CBI or otherwise protected should be clearly identified as 
such and should not be submitted through www.regulations.gov or e-mail. 
www.regulations.gov is an ``anonymous access'' system, and EPA will not 
know your identity or contact information unless you provide it in the 
body of your comment. If you send e-mail directly to EPA, your e-mail 
address will be automatically captured and included as part of the 
public comment. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical 
difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be 
able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of 
special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects 
or viruses.
    Docket: The index to the docket for this action is available 
electronically at www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA Region 
IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California. While all documents 
in the docket are listed in the index, some information may be publicly 
available only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted material), 
and some may not be publicly available in either location (e.g., CBI).

during normal business hours with the contact listed in the FOR FURTHER

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules:
    1. Rule 2.37, Natural Gas-Fired Water Heaters and Small Boilers
    2. Rule 2.42, Nitric Acid Production.
    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 these 
rules and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of these 
rules, we may adopt as final those provisions of the rules 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: April 1, 2010.
Jared Blumenfeld,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
