BILLING CODE 6560–50–P

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 031–0174b; FRL–6580–4]

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans; California State

Implementation Plan Revision, Lake

County Air Quality Management

District and San Joaquin Valley Unified

Air Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is approving revisions to

the California State Implementation

Plan. The revisions concern rules from

the following: Lake County Air Quality

Management District (LCAQMD) and

San Joaquin Valley Unified Air

Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD).

The rules control particulate matter

(PM) emissions from open burning or

processes identified by a weight rate

throughput.

The intended effect of this action is to

regulate emissions of PM 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 and anticipates no adverse

comments. A detailed rationale for this

approval is set forth in the direct final

rule. If no relevant adverse comments

are received, no further activity is

contemplated in relation to this rule. If

EPA receives relevant adverse

comments, the direct final rule will not

take effect and all public comments

received will be addressed in a

subsequent final rule based on this

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a

second comment period on this rule.

Any parties interested in commenting

on this rule should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in

writing by May 22, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be

addressed in writing to: Andrew

Steckel, Rulemaking Office (AIR–4), Air

Division, U.S. Environmental Protection

Copies of the rule revisions and EPA’s

evaluation report of each rule are

available for public inspection at EPA’s

Region IX office during normal business

hours. Copies of the submitted rule

revisions are also available for

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IN99–1b; FRL–6573–6]

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plan; Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

revisions to particulate matter (PM)

emissions regulations for Dubois

County, Indiana, which the Indiana

Department of Environmental

Management (IDEM) submitted to EPA

on February 3, 1999, as amendments to

its State Implementation Plan (SIP). The

revisions include relaxation of some PM

limits, elimination of limits for boilers

which are no longer operating, updating

facility names, and changing some

boiler fuel types. Air quality dispersion

modeling provided by IDEM shows that

this SIP revision will not have an

adverse effect on PM air quality.

DATES: EPA must receive written

comments on this proposed rule by May

22, 2000.

ADDRESSES: You should mail written

comments to: J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief,

Regulation Development Section, Air

Programs Branch (AR–18J), U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency,

Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard,
