Management District, Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control

County Air Pollution Control District, Sacramento Metropolitan Air

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern the control of volatile organic 
compound (VOC) emissions from organic solvent cleaning, and surface 
preparation and clean-up.
    The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is to 
regulate emissions of VOCs in accordance with the requirements of the 
Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). In the Final Rules 
Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the state's SIP 
submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no 
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for this approval is set forth 
in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received, no 
further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the 
direct final rule will not take effect and all public comments received 
will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed 
rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. 
Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at 
this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by May 3, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Andrew Steckel, 
Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
