[CA 169-0440b; FRL-7665-4]

Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Bay Area 
Air Quality Management District and Monterey Bay 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) Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution 
Control District (MBUAPCD), and Ventura County Air Pollution Control 
District (VCAPCD) portions of the California State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). The revisions concern the emission of volatile organic compounds 
(VOCs) from episodic releases from relief devices, the emission of VOCs 
from the transfer of gasoline into storage containers at bulk 
terminals, and the storage and transfer of gasoline at dispensing 
facilities. We are proposing to approve local rules that regulate these 
emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by June 23, 2004.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of 
local BAAQMD Rule 8-28, MBUAPCD Rule 418, and VCAPCD Rule 70. 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: May 7, 2004.
Laura Yoshii,
Deputy Regional Administrator, Region IX.
