Delegation of National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants for Source Categories; State of California; Amador County 
Air Pollution Control District, San Diego County Air Pollution Control 
District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 112(l) of the 1990 Clean Air Act, EPA 
granted to the Amador County Air Pollution Control District and San 
Diego County Air Pollution Control District delegation of specific 
national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAPs) as 
they apply to non-major sources. This delegation was granted on 
September 4, 2008. EPA is proposing to amend certain regulations to 
reflect the current delegation status of NESHAP in California.

DATE: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by April 24, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPA-R09-OAR-
2008-0759, by one of the following methods:

    Instructions: All comments will be included in the public docket 
without change and may be made available online at http://
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided, 
unless the comment includes Confidential Business Information (CBI) or 
other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Information that you consider CBI or otherwise protected should be

If you send e-mail directly to EPA, your e-mail address will be 
automatically captured and included as part of the public comment. If 
EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot 
contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your 
comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters, 
any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
    Docket: The index to the docket for this action is available 
electronically at http://www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA 
Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California. While all 
documents in the docket are listed in the index, some information may 
be publicly available only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document concerns EPA's delegation to 
the Amador County Air Pollution Control District and the San Diego 
County Air Pollution Control District for unchanged NESHAPs as they 
apply to non-major sources. In the Rules and Regulations section of 
this Federal Register, EPA is amending regulations to reflect the 
current delegation status of NESHAPs in California. EPA is taking 
direct final action without prior proposal because we believe this 
action is not controversial. If we receive adverse comments, however, 
we will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule and 
address the comments in a subsequent action based on this proposed 
rule. Please note that if we receive adverse comments on an amendment, 
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed 
from the remainder of the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions 
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
    We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone 
interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not 
receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further 
information, please see the direct final action.

    Dated: March 9, 2009.
Deborah Jordan,
Director, Air Division, Region IX.
