40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R09-OAR-2015-0690; FRL-9937-28-Region 9]


Approval of California Air Plan Revisions, South Coast Air 
Quality Management District and Yolo-Solano 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 South Coast Air Quality Management District 
(SCAQMD) and Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD) 
portions of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). These 
revisions concern volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from motor 
vehicle and mobile equipment refinishing coating operations. We are 
proposing to approve local rules to regulate these emission sources 
under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by January 7, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R09-
OAR-2015-0690 at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online

instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot 
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any 
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any 
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment 
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA 
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located 
outside of the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other 
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA 
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, 
and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, ``we,'' ``us'' and 
``our'' refer to the EPA. This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: SCAQMD Rule 1151,``Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Non-
Assembly Line Coating Operations,'' and YSAQMD Rule 2.26, ``Motor 
Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Coating Operations''. In the Rules and 
Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are approving these 
local rules in a direct final action without prior proposal because we 
believe these SIP revisions are not controversial. If we receive 
adverse comments, however, we 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 we receive adverse comment 
on a particular rule, we may adopt as final the rule that is 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: November 5, 2015.
Jared Blumenfeld,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
