Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plan for Yolo-Solano

Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

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

Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions concern rules submitted by the

State of California on behalf of the Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management

District (the District) for the purpose of meeting requirements of the

Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act) with regard to new

source review (NSR).

The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is to

control air pollution in accordance with the requirements of 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 action, no further activity is

contemplated in relation to this proposal. If EPA receives adverse

comments, the direct final approval will be withdrawn and all public

comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final action based

on this proposal. EPA will not institute a second public comment period

on this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this action

should do so at this time.

August 6, 1997.
