AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

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

Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern the control of volatile organic

compound (VOC) emissions from organic solvent cleaning, and surface

preparation and clean-up.

The intended effect of proposing approval of these rules is to

regulate emissions of VOCs 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 not take effect and all public comments received

will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed

rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.

Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at

this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by May 3, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Andrew Steckel,
