Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, San
Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District and Sacramento
Metropolitan Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the San Joaquin
Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) and Sacramento
Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) portions of the
California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern
oxides of nitrogen (NOX) emissions from internal combustion
engines and stationary gas turbines. We are proposing to approve local
rules to 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 February 11, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPA-R09-OAR-
2007-1104, by one of the following methods:
    1. Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-

line instructions.
    2. E-mail: steckel.andrew@epa.gov.
    3. Mail or deliver: Andrew Steckel (Air-4), U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA
94105-3901.
    Instructions: All comments will be included in the public docket
without change and may be made available online at http://www.regulations.gov,

including any personal information provided, unless the comment
includes Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information that you
consider CBI or otherwise protected should be clearly identified as
such and should not be submitted through http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail.

    http://www.regulations.gov is an ``anonymous access'' system, and EPA will

not know your identity or contact information unless you provide it in
the body of your comment. If you send e-mail directly to EPA, your e-
mail address will be automatically captured and included as part of the
public comment. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical
difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be
able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of
special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects
or viruses.
    Docket: The index to the docket for this action is available
electronically at http://www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA Region

IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California. While all documents
in the docket are listed in the index, some information may be publicly
available only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted material),
and some may not be publicly available in either location (e.g., CBI).
To inspect the hard copy materials, please schedule an appointment
during normal business hours with the contact listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Francisco Dóñez, EPA
Region IX, (415) 972-3956, Donez.Francisco@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local
rules: SJVAPCD Rule 4702 and SMAQMD Rule 413. 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 an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that
provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, we may adopt
as final those provisions of the rule 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: December 5, 2007.
Jane Diamond,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
