[EPA-R09-OAR-2007-1074, FRL-8537-9]
Partial Removal of Direct Final Rule Revising the California
State Implementation Plan, Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control
District and San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Partial removal of direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On January 2, 2008 (73 FR 48), EPA published a direct final
approval of revisions to the California State Implementation Plan
(SIP). These revisions concerned local rules that address
circumvention, reduction of animal matter, and volatile organic
compound (VOC) emissions from gasoline bulk storage tanks, gasoline
filling stations, petroleum refinery equipment, and petroleum solvent
dry cleaning. The direct final action was published without prior
proposal because EPA anticipated no adverse comment. The direct final
rule stated that if adverse comments were received by February 1, 2008,
EPA would publish a timely removal in the Federal Register. EPA
received a timely adverse comment. Consequently, with this revision we
are removing the direct final approval of SJVAPCD Rules 4104, 4402,
4404, 4453, 4454, 4625, 4641, and 4672. EPA will either address the
comments in a subsequent final action based on the parallel proposal
also published on January 2, 2008 (73 FR 48) or repropose an
alternative action. As stated in the parallel proposal, EPA will not
institute a second comment period on a subsequent final action. The
other rules, MBUAPCD Rules 415, 418, and 1002, approved in the January
2, 2008 direct final action, are not affected by this removal and are
incorporated into the SIP as of the original effective date of March 3,
2008.
DATES: The addition of 40 CFR 52.220(c)(351)(i)(C) published at 73 FR
48 on (January 2, 2008) is removed effective March 13, 2008.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established docket number EPA-R09-OAR-2007-1074 for
this action. The index to the docket is available electronically at
http://www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA Region IX, 75
Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA. While all documents in the docket
