[CA 126-0032b; FRL-5815-6]

Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;

California State Implementation Plan Revision, Placer County Air

Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the California State

Implementation Plan (SIP) that concern a wide range of administrative

and traditional source category rules.

The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is to

regulate emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), oxides of

nitrogen (NOX) and other pollutants 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 revision 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 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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

May 30, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action 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.
