[CA 173-0044b; FRL-5867-4]

Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;

California State Implementation Plan Revision, Sacramento Metropolitan

Air Quality Management District and Santa Barbara County Air Pollution

Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to act on revisions to the California State

Implementation Plan (SIP) consisting of two volatile organic compound

(VOC) negative declarations from the Sacramento Metropolitan Air

Quality Management District for Plastic Parts Coating: Business

Machines and Plastic Parts Coating: Other and six negative declarations

from the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District for the

following VOC source categories: Industrial Wastewater, Plastic Parts

Coating: Business Machines, Plastic Parts Coating: Other, Industrial

Cleaning Solvents, Offset Lithography, and Shipbuilding Coatings. The

intended effect of proposing to include these negative declarations in

the SIP is to meet 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 acting on the state's SIP revision as a direct

final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a

noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no adverse

comments. A rationale for this action 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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn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

September 2, 1997.

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

Julie A. Rose, Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, San

negative declarations for the following VOC source categories: Plastic
