**Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;**

**Pennsylvania; Revisions to Stage II Requirements in Allegheny County**

**AGENCY:** Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION:** Proposed rule.

**SUMMARY:** EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the purpose
of modifying and clarifying existing regulatory requirements for the
control of volatile organic compounds from gasoline dispensing
facilities in Allegheny County. In the Final Rules section of this
[Federal Register]{.underline}, EPA is approving the State\'s SIP
submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in
the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response
to this action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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. Any
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this
time.

**DATES:** Comments must be received in writing by \[[insert date 30
days from date of]{.underline}
