ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 252-312b; FRL-7118-2]

 
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Mojave 
Desert Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Mojave Desert Air 
Quality Management District portion of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern oxides of nitrogen 
(NOX) emissions from cement kilns. We are proposing to 
approve the local rule to regulate these emission sources under the 
Clean Air Act as amended in 1990.

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by February 1, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Mail comments to Andy Steckel, Rulemaking Office Chief (AIR-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne 
Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
    You can inspect copies of the submitted SIP revisions and EPA's 
technical support document (TSD) at our Region IX office during normal 
business hours. You may also see copies of the submitted SIP revisions 
at the following locations: California Air Resources Board, Stationary 
Source Division, Rule Evaluation Section, 2020 ``L'' Street, 
Sacramento, CA 95812. Mojave Desert AQMD, 14306 Park Avenue, 
Victorville, CA 92392-2310

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Charnjit Bhullar, Rulemaking Office 
(Air-4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, (415) 972-
3960.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the local rule: 
MDAQMD Rule 1161. In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal 
Register, we are approving this local rule 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: November 29, 2001.
Laura Yoshii,
Deputy Regional Administrator, Region IX.
