SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 112(l) of the 1990 Clean Air Act, EPA

Department on May 6, 2010, and December 14, 2010, and to the Santa 
Barbara County Air Pollution Control District on July 30, 2010. EPA is 
proposing to revise the Code of Federal Regulations to reflect the

current delegation status of NESHAP in Arizona and California.

2011-0213, 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.

any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document concerns the delegation of 
unchanged NESHAP to the Maricopa County Air Quality Department, and the 
Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District. In the Rules and 
Regulations section of this Federal Register, EPA is amending 
regulations to reflect the current delegation status of NESHAP in 
Arizona and California. EPA is taking direct final action without prior 
proposal because the Agency believes 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 comment 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 3, 2011.
Deborah Jordan,
Director, Air Division, Region IX.
