[CA 198-0175b; FRL-6445-7]

Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans;

California State Implementation Plan Revision, San Luis Obispo County

Air Pollution Control District South Coast Air Quality Management

District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve revisions to the California State

Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern the recission of rules from the

SIP.

The intended effect of this action is to bring the San Luis Obispo

County Air Pollution Control District and the South Coast Air Quality

Management District rules and regulations up to date 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 submittal 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, no further activity is contemplated. 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and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. Any parties interested in commenting should do so at

this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received by November 1, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to: Andrew Steckel, Chief,

Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
