40 CFR Part 52

[CA 253-0405b; FRL-7567-7]

 
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, El Dorado 
County Air Pollution Control District and Santa Barbara County Air 
Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the El Dorado County 
Air Pollution Control District (EDCAPCD) and Santa Barbara County Air 
Pollution Control District (SBCAPCD) portions of the California State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern nitrogen oxide 
(NOX) emissions from biomass boilers and from large water 
heaters and small boilers. We are proposing to approve a local rule 
under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by November 13, 2003.

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; steckel.andrew@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the approval of 
local EDCAPCD Rule 232 and SBCAPCD Rule 360. In the Rules 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. 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: September 3, 2003.
Wayne Nastri,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
