[EPA-R09-OAR-2006-0829, FRL-8235-1]
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Lake
County Air Quality Management District, Monterey Bay Unified Air
Pollution Control District, San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution
Control District, and Ventura County Air Pollution Control District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Lake County Air
Quality Management District (LCAQMD), Monterey Bay Unified Air
Pollution Control District (MBUAPCD), San Joaquin Valley Unified Air
Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD), and Ventura County Air Pollution
Control District (VCAPCD) portions of the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP). Under authority of the Clean Air Act as
amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act), we are proposing to approve local
rules that address particulate matter (PM-10) emissions from open
burning, general area sources, cotton gins, incinerators, and fuel
burning equipment.
DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by December 11, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPA-R09-OAR-
2006-0829, by one of the following methods:

3. Mail or deliver: Andrew Steckel (Air-4), U.S. Environmental

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.
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: Al Petersen, EPA Region IX, (415) 947-
4118, petersen.alfred@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local
rules: LCAQMD Chapter VIII Section 1002 and Chapter VIII Table 8,
MBUAPCD Rule 403, SJVUAPCD Rule 4240, and VCAPCD Rules 57 and 57.1. In
the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are
approving these into the SIP 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
[[Page 65765]]
planned. For further information, please see the direct final action.
Dated: October 12, 2006.
Alexis Strauss,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
