ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 210-0306b; FRL-7165-3]

 
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, South 
Coast Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the South Coast Air 
Quality Management District (SCAQMD) portion of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern nitrogen oxide 
(NO<INF>X</INF>) emissions from fuel burning equipment and from 
boilers, steam generators, process heaters, and from water heaters. We 
are proposing to approve local rules under the Clean Air Act as amended 
in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by May 8, 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.
    You can inspect copies of the submitted rule revisions and EPA's 
technical support documents (TSDs) at our Region IX office during 
normal business hours. You may also see copies of the submitted rule 
revisions and TSDs at the following locations:

Environmental Protection Agency, Air Docket (6102), Ariel Rios 
Building, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington DC 20460.
California Air Resources Board, Stationary Source Division, Rule 
Evaluation Section, 1001 ``I'' Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.
South Coast Air Quality Management District, 21865 East Copley Drive, 
Diamond Bar, CA 91765.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Al Petersen, Rulemaking Office (AIR-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX; (415) 947-4118.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of 
local SCAQMD Rules 1146 and 1146.2. 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 this 
SIP revision is 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: March 8, 2002.
Keith Takata,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
