Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Butte 
County Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve revisions to the Butte County Air 
Quality Management District (BCAQMD) State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
which concern the permitting of stationary sources of air emissions. 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: BCAQMD 403, 422, 424, 1105, 4-3 (recision), 4.5A (recision), 
4.5B (recision), 4-6 (recision), 4-6A (recision), 4.9 (recision), and 
4-11 (recision). In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal 
Register, we are approving action on 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. 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: February 9, 2001.
Laura Yoshii,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
