Proposed Approval and Promulgation of California State Implementation Plan for San Diego County Air Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions are rules submitted by the State of California on behalf of the District to apply as general provisions for the implementation of NSR and other SIP requirements for stationary sources in the District.

The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is to control air pollution in accordance with the requirements of the Act. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision 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, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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. Any parties interested in commenting should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by April 10, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action must be sent to David Albright at the Region IX mailing address listed below.

Copies of the rules and EPA's evaluation report of each rule are available for public inspection at EPA's Region 9 office during normal business hours at the following address: Permits Office (AIR-3), Air Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is proposing to approve the following rules into the SIP: Rule 19.3--Emission Information and Rule 60-- Circumvention. Rule 19.3 was adopted by the District on May 15, 1996, and submitted to EPA by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as a revision to the SIP on October 18, 1996. Rule 60 was adopted by the District on May 17, 1994, and submitted to EPA by CARB on July 13, 1994.
