Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;

California State Implementation Plan Revision, San Diego County Air

Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing a limited approval and limited disapproval of

revisions to the California State Implementation Plan (SIP) which

concern the control of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from

kelp processing and bio-polymer manufacturing operations.

The intended effect of proposing limited approval and limited

disapproval of this rule 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 finalizing a simultaneous limited approval and limited disapproval

of the state's SIP

[[Page 5726]]

revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the

Agency views this as a noncontroversial action and anticipates no

adverse comments. A detailed rationale for this limited approval and

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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and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

March 15, 1996.

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