ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R09-OAR-2015-0510; FRL-9934-03-Region 9]


Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Antelope 
Valley Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve revisions to the Antelope Valley Air Quality Management 
District (AVAQMD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). These revisions concern volatile organic compound (VOC) 
emissions from graphic arts facilities and aerospace assembly and 
component manufacturing operations. The EPA is proposing to approve 
local rules to regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act 
(CAA or the Act). These revisions also address rescission of two rules 
no longer required, and approval of administrative revisions to the 
emergency episode plan requirements.

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by November 4, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number [EPA-R09-OAR-
2015-0510, by one of the following methods:

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information that you

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: AVAQMD 701--Air Pollution Emergency Contingency Actions, 
rescission of AVAQMD 1110--Emissions from Stationary Internal 
Combustion Engines (Demonstration), AVAQMD 1124--Aerospace Assembly and 
Component Manufacturing Operations, rescission of AVAQMD 1128--Paper, 
Fabric and Film Coating Operations, and AVAQMD 1130--Graphic Arts. In 
the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving these local rules and rule rescissions in a direct final 
action without prior proposal because the EPA believes these SIP 
revisions are not controversial. If the EPA receives adverse comments, 
however, the EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final 
rule and address the comments in subsequent action based on this 
proposed rule. Please note that if the EPA receives adverse comment on 
an amendment, paragraph or section of this rule and if that provision 
may be severed from the remainder of the rule, the EPA may adopt as 
final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an 
adverse comment.
    The EPA does not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone 
interested in commenting should do so at this time. If the EPA does not 
receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further 
information, please see the direct final action.

    Dated: September 1, 2015.
Jared Blumenfeld,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
