ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Santa Barbara County 

Air Pollution Control District 

(SBCAPCD or District) portion of the 

California State Implementation Plan 

(SIP). These revisions concern 

administrative and procedural 

requirements to obtain preconstruction 

permits which regulate emission 

sources under the Clean Air Act as 

amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). 

DATES: Any comments on this proposal 

must arrive by March 10, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document, ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us’’ 

and ‘‘our’’ refer to the EPA. This 

proposal addresses the following local 

rules: 201, 203, 204, and 206. 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 a particular 

rule, we may adopt as final those 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.

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutant Emissions: 

Petroleum Refinery Sector 

Amendments 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: This action proposes 

amendments to the National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) Refinery MACT 1 and 

Refinery MACT 2 regulations and the 

New Source Performance Standards 

(NSPS) for petroleum refineries, which 

were published on December 1, 2015. In 

that action, as a result of a risk and 

technology review, the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) finalized 

amendments to Refinery MACT 1 and 

Refinery MACT 2. In this action, the 

EPA is proposing to amend the 

compliance date in Refinery MACT 1 for 

maintenance vent standards that apply 

during periods of startup, shutdown, 

maintenance or inspection for sources 

constructed or reconstructed on or 

before June 30, 2014. In this action, the 

EPA is also proposing to revise the 

compliance dates in Refinery MACT 2 

for the standards that apply during 

startup, shutdown, or hot standby for 

fluid catalytic cracking units (FCCU) 

and startup and shutdown for sulfur 

recovery units (SRU) constructed or 

reconstructed on or before June 30, 

2014. These proposed revisions do not 

affect requirements that apply during 

normal operations. Finally, the EPA is 

proposing technical corrections and 

clarifications to the NESHAP and the 

NSPS for petroleum refineries. This 

action will have an insignificant effect 

on emissions reductions and costs. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 25, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OAR–2010–0682, at http://
