SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: PCAPCD Rule 216 Organic Solvent Cleaning and Degreasing 
Operations, SMAQMD Rule 466 Solvent Cleaning, SJVUAPCD Rule 4661 
Organic Solvents, SCAQMD Rule 1173 Control of Volatile Organic Compound 
Leaks and Releases from Components at Petroleum Facilities and Chemical 
Plants. 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: March 18, 2010.
Jared Blumenfeld,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
