Clean Air Act Proposed Interim Approval of Operating Permits

Program; Mariposa Air Pollution Control District, California

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes interim approval of the title V operating

permits program submitted by the Mariposa Air Pollution Control

District (Mariposa or District) for the purpose of complying with

federal requirements that mandate that states develop, and submit to

EPA, programs for issuing operating permits to all major stationary

sources and to certain other sources. Today's action also proposes

approval of Mariposa's mechanism for receiving delegation of section

112 standards as promulgated.

In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is

promulgating interim approval of Mariposa's title V program as a direct

final rule without prior proposal because EPA views this submittal as

noncontroversial 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 in response to this proposed rule, no

further activity is contemplated in relation to this rulemaking. If EPA

receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and

all

public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule

based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second

comment period on this document. Any parties interested in commenting

on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by

January 8, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to: Sara

Bartholomew, Operating Permits Section (A-5-2), Air and Toxics

Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne

Document, and other supporting information used in developing the

proposed approval are available for public inspection at EPA's Region
