ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA 159-0018b; FRL-5641-6]
 
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
California State Implementation Plan Revision, Mojave Desert Air 
Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.




SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to act on revisions to the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern eight negative declarations 
from the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District for the 
following volatile organic compound (VOC) source categories: Synthetic 
Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI) Distillation, SOCMI 
Reactors, SOCMI Batch Processing, Offset Lithography, Industrial 
Wastewater, Plastic Parts-Business Machines, Plastic Parts-Other, and 
Ship Building. The intended effect of proposing to include these 
negative declarations in the SIP is to meet the requirements of the 
Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). In the Final Rules 
Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is acting on the State's SIP 
revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision amendment and 
anticipates no adverse comments. A rationale for this action is set 
forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in 
response to this proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in 
relation to this rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct 
final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The 
EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this 
time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
December 2, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to:
