[EPA-R09-OAR-2014-0873; FRL-9926-18-Region 9]

Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Yolo-
Solano Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve revisions to the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District 
(YSAQMD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). 
These revisions concern volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from 
organic solvents cleaning operations. We are proposing to rescind and 
approve local rules to regulate these emission sources under the Clean 
Air Act (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by May 28, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPA-R09-OAR-
2014-0873 by one of the following methods:

    Instructions: All comments will be included in the public docket 
without change and may be made available online at www.regulations.gov, 
including any personal information provided, unless the comment 
includes Confidential Business Information (CBI) or 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 www.regulations.gov or email. 
www.regulations.gov is an ``anonymous access'' system, and EPA will not 
know your identity or contact information unless you provide it in the 
body of your comment. If you send email directly to EPA, your email 
address will be automatically captured and included as part of the 
public comment. If EPA cannot read your comment due to 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.
    Docket: Generally, documents in the docket for this action are 
available electronically at www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA 
Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California 94105-3901. 
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). To inspect the hard 
copy materials, please schedule an appointment during normal business

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: YSAQMD Rule 1.1 ``General Provisions and Definitions,'' Rule 
2.13 ``Organic Solvents,'' Rule 2.15 ``Disposal and Evaporation of 
Solvents,'' Rule 2.24 ``Solvent Cleaning Operations (Degreasing),'' and 
Rule 2.31 ``Solvent Cleaning and Degreasing.'' In the Rules and 
Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are approving Rule 1.1 
and Rule 2.31 and rescinding Rule 2.13, Rule 2.15 and Rule 2.24, all 
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 30, 2015.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
