Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Arizona; 

Phased Discontinuation of Stage II 

Vapor Recovery Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: Due to the receipt of adverse 

comments, the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) is withdrawing 

the September 2, 2015 direct final rule 

that approves a state implementation 

plan (SIP) revision related to the 

removal of ‘‘Stage II’’ vapor recovery 

equipment at gasoline dispensing 

facilities in the Phoenix-Mesa area. The 

EPA will address the comments in a 

subsequent final action based upon the 

proposed rulemaking action, also 

published on September 2, 2105. The 

EPA will not institute a second 

comment period on this action. 

DATES: The direct final rule published at 

80 FR 53001 on September 2, 2015 is 

withdrawn, effective October 27, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 2, 2015 (80 FR 53001), the 

EPA published a direct final rule 

approving a SIP revision submitted by 

the Arizona Department of 

Environmental Quality (ADEQ). The 

revision provides for the phased 

removal of Stage II vapor recovery 

equipment at gasoline dispensing 

facilities in the Phoenix-Mesa area. 

Specifically, the revision eliminates the 

requirement to install and operate such 

equipment at new gasoline dispending 

facilities, and provides for the phased 

removal of such equipment at existing 

gasoline dispensing facilities from 

October 2016 through September 2018. 

In the direct final rule, the EPA stated 

that if adverse comments were received 

by October 2, 2015, the EPA would 

publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule and address the 

comments in a subsequent final rule. 

The EPA received adverse comments 

and is therefore withdrawing the direct 

final rule. The EPA will address these 

comments in a separate final action 

based on the proposed action also 

published on September 2, 2015 (80 FR 

53086). The EPA will not open a second 

comment period for this action.

Region 3] 

Outer Continental Shelf Air 

Regulations Consistency Update for 

Maryland 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking direct final 

action to approve an update to a portion 

of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Air 

Regulations for Maryland. Requirements 

applying to OCS sources located within 

25 miles of States’ seaward boundaries 

must be updated periodically to remain 

consistent with the requirements of the 

corresponding onshore area (COA), as 

mandated by the Clean Air Act, as 

amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). The 

portion of the OCS air regulations that 

is being updated pertains to the 

requirements for OCS sources for which 

Maryland is the designated COA. The 

intended effect of approving the OCS 

requirements for the Maryland 

Department of the Environment is to 

regulate emissions from OCS sources in 

accordance with the requirements 

onshore. 

DATES: This rule is effective on 

December 28, 2015 without further 

notice, unless EPA receives adverse 

written comment by November 27, 

2015. If EPA receives such comments, it 

will publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule in the Federal Register 

and inform the public that the rule will 

not take effect. The incorporation by 

reference of certain publications listed 

in the rule is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of December 

28, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

Docket ID No. EPA–R03–OAR–2014– 

0568. EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change, and may be 

made available online at 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov

site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, 

which means EPA will not know your 

identity or contact information unless 

you provide it in the body of your 

comment. If you send an email 

comment directly to EPA without going 

through www.regulations.gov, your 

email address will be automatically 

captured and included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the public 

docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. 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: All documents in the 

electronic docket are listed in the 

www.regulations.gov index. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Certain other 

material, such as copyrighted material, 

is not placed on the Internet and will be 

publicly available only in hard copy 

form. Publicly available docket 

materials are available either 

electronically in www.regulations.gov or

available at the Maryland Department of 

the Environment, 1800 Washington 

Boulevard, Suite 705, Baltimore, 

Maryland 21230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On September 4, 1992, EPA 

promulgated 40 CFR part 55 which 

established requirements to control air 

pollution from OCS sources in order to 

attain and maintain Federal and state 

ambient air quality standards and to 

comply with the provisions of part C of 

title I of the CAA. Forty CFR part 55 

applies to all OCS sources offshore of 

the states except those locations in the 

Gulf of Mexico west of 87.5 degrees 

longitude. Section 328 of the CAA 

requires that for such source locations 

within 25 miles of a state’s seaward 

boundary, the requirements shall be the 

same as would be applicable if the 

source were located in the COA. 

Because the OCS requirements are based 

on onshore requirements, and onshore 

requirements may change, section 

328(a)(1) requires that EPA update the 

OCS requirements as necessary to 

maintain consistency with onshore 

requirements. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 55.12 of the OCS 

rule, consistency reviews will occur: (1) 

At least annually; (2) upon receipt of a 

Notice of Intent under 40 CFR 55.4; or 

(3) when a state or local agency submits 

a rule to EPA to be considered for 

incorporation by reference in 40 CFR 

part 55. This proposed action is being 

taken in response to requirements 

submitted by Maryland. Section 328(a) 

of the Act requires that EPA establish 

requirements to control air pollution 

from OCS sources located within 25 

miles of states’ seaward boundaries that 

are the same as onshore requirements. 

To comply with this statutory mandate, 

EPA must incorporate applicable 

onshore rules into 40 CFR part 55 as 

they exist onshore. This limits EPA’s 

flexibility in deciding which 

requirements will be incorporated into 

40 CFR part 55 and prevents EPA from 

making substantive changes to the 

requirements it incorporates. As a 

result, EPA may be incorporating rules 

into 40 CFR part 55 that do not conform 

to all of EPA’s state implementation
