Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Placer
County Air Pollution Control District, Sacramento Metropolitan Air
Quality Management District, San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution
Control District, and South Coast Air Quality Management District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Placer County Air
Pollution Control District (PCAPCD), Sacramento Metropolitan Air
Quality Management District (SMAQMD), San Joaquin Valley Unified Air
Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD), and South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SCAQMD) portions of the California State
Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern volatile organic
[[Page 24545]]
compound (VOC) emissions from petroleum facilities, chemical plants,
and facilities which use organic solvents. We are proposing to approve
local rules to regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act
as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).
DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by June 4, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number [EPA-R09-OAR-
2010-0218], by one of the following methods:

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. Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters,
any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
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: Nicole Law, EPA Region IX, (415) 947-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local
rules: PCAPCD Rule 216 Organic Solvent Cleaning and Degreasing
Operations, SMAQMD Rule 466 Solvent Cleaning, SJVUAPCD Rule 4661
Organic Solvents, SCAQMD Rule 1173 Control of Volatile Organic Compound
Leaks and Releases from Components at Petroleum Facilities and Chemical
Plants. 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 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 planned. For further
information, please see the direct final action.
Dated: March 18, 2010.
Jared Blumenfeld,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
