**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 originallypermitted 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.

**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.

**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.
