[CA 284-0399b; FRL-7536-3]

 
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Bay Area 
Air Quality Management District and San Joaquin Valley Unified Air 
Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Bay Area Air 
Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and San Joaquin Valley Unified Air 
Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) portions of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). The BAAQMD revisions concern the emission of 
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the use of solvents and surface 
coatings. The SJVUAPCD revision concerns the emission of VOCs from a 
glycol dehydration system used on natural gas streams. We are proposing 
approval of local rules that regulate these emission sources under the 
Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by September 25, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Mail comments to Andy Steckel, Rulemaking Office Chief (AIR-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of 
local BAAQMD Rules 8-4 and 8-16 and SJVUAPCD Rule 4408. In the rules 
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. 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 27, 2003.
Jane Diamond,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
