SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Why is the EPA issuing this proposed 

rule? 

EPA is proposing to revise the 

deadline in 40 CFR 98.234(f)(8)(i) by 

which owners or operators of facilities 

subject to the petroleum and natural gas 

systems source category, subpart W, of 

the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule 

must submit a request to use best 

available monitoring methods to the 

Administrator. We have published a 

direct final rule making this revision in 

the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of 

this Federal Register because the EPA 

views this as a noncontroversial action 

and no adverse comments are 

anticipated. A further explanation for 

the reasons for this action is in the 

preamble to the direct final rule. 

If we receive no adverse comment, we 

will not take further action on this 

proposed rule. If the EPA receives 

relevant adverse comment, we will 

publish a timely withdrawal notice in 

the Federal Register to inform the 

public that the direct final rule, or the 

relevant portion of the direct final rule, 

will not take effect. The rule provisions 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
11620 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 33 / Tuesday, February 19, 2013 / Proposed Rules 

that are not withdrawn will become 

effective on the date set out in the direct 

final rule, notwithstanding relevant 

adverse comment on any other 

provision, unless we determine that it 

would not be appropriate to promulgate 

those provisions due to their being 

affected by the provision for which we 

receive relevant adverse comment. If the 

EPA does receive relevant adverse 

comment on the direct final rule and 

withdraws the direct final rule, we will 

address all public comments in any 

subsequent final rule based on this 

proposal. We will not institute a second 

comment period on this action. Any 

parties interested in commenting on the 

specific changes being made must do so 

by the comment deadline listed in the 

DATES section of this document. The 

EPA will not consider a comment to be 

adverse if a comment pertains to an 

aspect of part 98 or 40 CFR part 98, 

subpart W that is not addressed in the 

direct final rule. For further information 

about commenting on this action, please 

see the information provided in the 

ADDRESSES section of this document.
