[EPA-R09-OAR-2016-0119; FRL-9948-25-Region 9]

Approval of California Air Plan Revisions, Modoc County Air 
Pollution Control District, Permit Programs

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve revisions to the Modoc County Air Pollution Control District 
(MCAPCD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). 
These revisions concern MCAPCD's administrative and procedural 
requirements to obtain preconstruction permits that regulate emission 
sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). We 
are proposing to approve these local rules under the CAA.

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by August 31, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R09-
OAR-2016-0119 at http://www.regulations.gov, or via email to 
R9airpermits@epa.gov. For comments submitted at Regulations.gov, follow 
the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, 
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either 
manner of submission, the EPA may publish any comment received to its

restricted by statute. Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must 
be accompanied by a written comment. The written comment is considered 
the official comment and should include discussion of all points you 
wish to make. The EPA will generally not consider comments or comment 
contents located outside of the primary submission (i.e. on the Web, 
cloud, or other file sharing system). For additional submission 
methods, please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, ``we,'' ``us'' and 
``our'' refer to the EPA. This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, and 2.10. 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.

    Dated: June 15, 2016.
Alexis Strauss,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
