SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve revisions to the Eastern Kern Air Pollution Control District 
(EKAPCD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). 
These revisions concern administrative changes of a previously approved 
regulation and emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from 
aerospace coating assembly and coating operations and metal, plastic 
and pleasure craft parts and products coating operations. We are 
proposing to approve local rules to regulate these activities under the 
Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by June 16, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, ``we,'' ``us'' and 
``our'' refer to the EPA. This proposal addresses the following EKAPCD 
rules: Rule 103.1, ``Inspection of Public Records,'' Rule 410.4, 
``Metal, Plastic, and Pleasure Craft Parts and Products Coating 
Operations,'' and Rule 410.8, ``Aerospace Assembly and Coating 
Operations.'' 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 a particular rule, we may adopt as final 
those rules 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: April 4, 2016.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
