ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[CA 034-0049b; FRL-5880-5]

Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;
California State Implementation Plan Revision, Bay Area Air Quality
Management District

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

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concerns the control of volatile
organic compound (VOC) emissions from the storage of organic liquids.

[[Page 44929]]

    The intended effect of proposing approval of this rule is to
regulate emissions of VOCs in accordance with 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 approving 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 detailed rationale for this approval
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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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
September 24, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to:
Andrew Steckel, Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San
Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
