ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 095-0237b; FRL-6987-4]


Revisions to the Arizona and California State Implementation 
Plans, Maricopa County Environmental Services Department, Placer County 
Air Pollution Control District and South Coast Air Quality Management 
District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Maricopa County 
Environmental Services Department (MCESD) portion of the Arizona State 
Implementation Plan (SIP), and the Placer County Air Pollution Control 
District (PCAPCD) and South Coast Air Quality Management District 
(SCAQMD) portions of the California SIP. These revisions concern 
volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from Pharmaceutical, Cosmetic 
and Vitamin Manufacturing Operations, Fiberboard Manufacturing, and 
Hydrogen Plant Process Vents. 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).

DATE: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by July 9, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Mail comments to Andy Steckel, Rulemaking Office Chief (AIR-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne 
Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: MCESD 349--Pharmaceutical, Cosmetic and Vitamin Manufacturing 
Operations, PCAPCD 229--Fiberboard Manufacturing, and SCAQMD 1189--
Hydrogen Plant Process Vents. 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. 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 27, 2001.
Mike Schulz,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
