State Implementation Plan Revision; Santa Barbara County Air Pollution

Control District, California

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the California State

Implementation Plan (SIP). The revision concerns the Operating Permits

Program rule revision submitted by the California Air Resources Board

(CARB) on behalf of the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control

District (Santa Barbara or District) pursuant to Clean Air Act (CAA)

sections 110 and 112(l).

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

approving the states'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adverse comments, the direct final approval will be withdrawn and all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.

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

November 14, 1997.
