          - 40 CFR Part 52
          - [EPA-R09-OAR-2012-0542; FRL-9917-76-Region 9]

# AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency.

# ACTION:

Proposed rule.

# SUMMARY:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a revision to the Imperial County portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements for volatile organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen emissions inventories in areas designated nonattainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). We are proposing to approve the 2002 volatile organic compound and oxides of nitrogen emissions inventories as submitted by Imperial County and California.

# DATES:

Any comments on this proposal must arrive by November 24, 2014.

# ADDRESSES:

If EPA cannot read your comment due to                               ( print page 63350)                            technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.

While all documents in the docket are listed at                         *www.regulations.gov,*                         some information may be publicly available only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted material, large maps), and some may not be publicly available in either location (e.g., CBI).

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    This proposal concerns the volatile organic compound (VOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOX) 2002 emissions inventories submitted by California on December 21, 2010 in the document “Final 2009 1997 8-hour Ozone Modified Air Quality Management Plan” for Imperial County. California submitted these emissions inventories to meet CAA requirements under the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. In the Rules and Regulations section of this                     **Federal Register**                    , we are approving these VOC and NOX                     emissions inventories provided by California 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 portion of the state's submittal and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the submittal, we may adopt as final those provisions of the submittal 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: September 24, 2014.

Jared Blumenfeld,

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
