AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Antelope Valley 
Air Quality Management District (AVAQMD) portion of the California 
State Implementation Plan (SIP). Under authority of the Clean Air Act 
as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act), we are proposing to approve local 
rules that address permitting requirements.

2006-0747, by one of the following methods:

    Instructions: All comments will be included in the public docket

, including any personal information provided,

other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Information that you consider CBI or otherwise protected should be 
clearly identified as such and should not be submitted through 
http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail. www.regulations.gov is an ``anonymous

electronically at http://www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA 

Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California. While all 
documents in the docket are listed in the index, some information may 
be publicly available only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of 
local AVAQMD Rule 442. In the Rules and Regulations section of this 
Federal Register, we are approving this local rule in a direct final 
action without prior proposal because we believe this SIP revision is 
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: September 1, 2006.
Laura Yoshii,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
