SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

February 7, 2011, (76 FR 6587), we 

published a proposed rule that was in 

response to a required program 

amendment codified in the Federal 

regulations. The submission included 

budgetary information that 

Pennsylvania had submitted to 

demonstrate that sufficient funds exist 

to guarantee coverage of the full cost of 

land reclamation at all sites originally 

permitted and bonded under the nowdefunct alternative bonding system. 

Pennsylvania requested that the 

program amendment be removed based 

on the information provided. 

On June 13, 2011, (76 FR 64048), we 

published a proposed rule to extend the 

public comment period and incorporate 

additional information from 

Pennsylvania regarding developments 

involving one permit that was 

transferred to another company, 

resulting in the posting of full-cost bond 

in an amount to cover the land 

reclamation obligation. 

On November 6, 2012, 

(Administrative Record Number PA 

802.85), we received additional 

information from Pennsylvania 

regarding recent developments 

involving another permit and its 

bonding status. Pennsylvania requested 

that the required amendment be 

removed based on the information 

provided. 

We are reopening the comment period 

to incorporate the above-referenced 

subsequent information that we 

received from Pennsylvania on 

November 6, 2012. 

Public Comment Procedures 

Under the provisions of 30 CFR 

732.17(h), we are seeking your 

comments on whether the submission 

satisfies the applicable program 

approval criteria of 30 CFR 732.15. If we 

approve the amendment, it will become 

part of the Pennsylvania program. 

Public Availability of Comments 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you may ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. We cannot ensure that comments 

received after the close of the comment 

period (see DATES) or sent to an address 

other than those listed above (see 

ADDRESSES) will be included in the 

docket for this rulemaking and 

considered. 

Electronic or Written Comments 

If you submit written comments, they 

should be specific, confined to issues 

pertinent to the proposed regulations, 

and explain the reason for any 

recommended change(s). We would 

appreciate all comments relating to this 

specific issue, but those most useful and 

likely to influence decisions on the final 

rule will be those that either involve 

personal experience or include citations 

to and analysis of the Surface Mining 

Control and Reclamation Act of 1977, its 

legislative history, its implementing 

regulations, case law, other State or 

Federal laws and regulations, data, 

technical literature, or other relevant 

publications.

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans Tennessee: 

Revisions to Volatile Organic 

Compound Definition 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

changes to the Tennessee State 

Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted 

by the State of Tennessee, through the 

Tennessee Department of Environment 

and Conservation on September 3, 1999. 

Tennessee’s September 3, 1999, SIP 

revision adds 17 compounds to the list 

of compounds excluded from the 

definition of ‘‘Volatile Organic 

Compound’’. EPA is approving this SIP 

revision because the State has 

demonstrated that it is consistent with 

the Clean Air Act. 

In the Final Rules Section of this 

Federal Register, EPA is approving the 

State’s implementation plan revision 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 rule, 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 on this 

document. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this document should 

do so at this time. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before March 21, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

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
