U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III 

1650 Arch Street (Mail Code: 3RAOO) 

Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029 

Dear Mr. Garvin: 

I am pleased to submit a request to revise the State Implementation Plan (SIP) to remove the 

portable fuel container (PFC) regulation previously found in 25 Pa. Code § § 130.101-130.108 

(relating to portable fuel containers). The DEP determined during its 2011 Regulatory Review 

Initiative that the PFC regulation promulgated at 32 Pa.B. 4819 (October 5, 2002) was 

unnecessary and moved to repeal it. The Environmental Quality Board approved the repeal at its 

meeting on March 20, 2012, and published notice of the repeal on July 14,2012 (42 Pa.B. 4463). 

The repeal of the provisions set forth in§§ 130.101-130.108 does not negatively affect the 

ozone air quality or ozone air quality planning of the Commonwealth. The DEP's regulation is 

superseded by Federal requirements codified at 40 CFR 59.600-59.699 (relating to control of 

evaporative emissions from new and in-use portable fuel containers), which apply nationwide to 

PFCs and are more stringent than the DEP requirements. The reductions of volatile organic 

compound (VOC) emissions achieved through the DEP's PFC regulation will be maintained by 

the VOC emission reductions achieved through the Federal PFC requirements. 

Compensating emission reductions to replace the PFC requirements are not necessary because 

the Federal PFC requirements provide greater emission reductions than the Commonwealth's 

regulation. The EPA allows states to estimate air emissions from specific sources using the 

emission standards that are being enforced in the state: 

A 30-day public comment period and one public hearing were scheduled regarding the SIP 

revision. The hearing was cancelled because no person expressed interest in testifying before the 

scheduled deadline. The comment period closed with no public comments submitted. 

The following documents are enclosed for your approval: 

1. The Portable Fuel Container SIP Revision; 

2. Certification of public participation activities; and 

3. A disc containing the raw data used in the emissions calculations.

Purpose of Document

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) requests through this revision 

to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) that the Administrator of the United States Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) remove the Commonwealth’s 2002 portable fuel containers (PFC) 

regulation from the Commonwealth’s approved SIP. The Commonwealth’s PFC regulation was

repealed, effective July 14, 2012, because PFCs are regulated nationwide by more stringent 

federal requirements passed in 2007 (42 Pa.B. 4463).

The DEP demonstrates in this SIP revision that removing the Commonwealth’s PFC regulation 

from the SIP will not cause backsliding of volatile organic compound (VOC) emission 

reductions necessary in attaining and maintaining the ozone air quality standards. DEP has 

compared the VOC emission reductions achieved by the Commonwealth’s PFC regulation to the

VOC emission reductions achieved by the Federal PFC regulation. The DEP’s comparison 

demonstrates that the Federal PFC requirements achieve VOC emission reductions equal to or 

greater than the Commonwealth’s PFC regulation.

Overview of Final-Omitted Rulemaking Process

The Pennsylvania Environmental Quality Board (EQB) amended 25 Pa. Code Chapter 130 

(relating to standards for products) as set forth in the “final-omitted” rulemaking published at 

42 Pa.B. 4463 (July 14, 2012). The final-omitted rulemaking rescinded the requirements that 

applied under 25 Pa. Code §§ 130.101—130.108 (relating to portable fuel containers) for the 

sale, supply, offer for sale and manufacture of PFCs and spouts for sale and for use in this 

Commonwealth on or after January 1, 2003. The Commonwealth notice of proposed rulemaking 

was omitted under Section 204(3) of the act of July 31, 1968 (P.L. 769, No. 240) 

(45 P.S. § 1204(3)), known as the Commonwealth Documents Law. That section of the 

Commonwealth Documents Law provides that an agency may omit the notice of proposed 

rulemaking if the agency, for good cause, finds that the notice of proposed rulemaking procedure 

is, in the circumstances impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest. Omission 

of notice of proposed rulemaking for the rescission of the PFC regulation, §§ 130.101—130.108,

was appropriate because the notice of proposed rulemaking procedure in Sections 201 and 202 of 

the Commonwealth Documents Law (45 P. S. §§ 1201 and 1202) was, in this instance, 

impractical, unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. The Commonwealth PFC regulation 

was superseded by the more stringent Federal PFC requirements, applicable nationwide, which

apply to portable fuel, diesel and kerosene containers and spouts manufactured in or imported 

into the United States for use in the United States beginning January 1, 2009.

For the Commonwealth to submit a request to the EPA for a revision of approved control 

measures in the federally-enforceable SIP, DEP must provide a public comment period and hold 

a public hearing with adequate public notice to comply with Section 110(a)(2) of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA) (42 USCA § 7410(a)(2)) and regulations promulgated thereunder at 

40 CFR 51.102(d). DEP published a notice of a 30-day public comment period and an 

opportunity for a public hearing on Tuesday, January 14, 2014, at 1 p.m. at the DEP Southcentral 

Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110.

DEP sought comment on these three items:

 The request to the EPA to remove the Commonwealth PFC regulation from the approved 

Commonwealth SIP;

 The demonstration that reliance on the national Federal PFC requirements provides VOC 

emission reductions equal to or greater than VOC emission reductions achieved under the 

Commonwealth's PFC regulations; and

 The use, going forward, of VOC emission reductions achieved under Federal PFC 

requirements in the Commonwealth’s specific action plan to attain and maintain the 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ground-level ozone as applicable 

and necessary.

The hearing scheduled for January 14 was cancelled because no one requested to testify.. The 

comment period closed on January 14 with no comments submitted.

Legal Authority

The repeal of the Commonwealth’s PFC regulation was authorized under Section 5(a)(1) of the 

Air Pollution Control Act (APCA) (35 P.S. § 4005(a)(1)), which grants the EQB the authority to 

adopt rules and regulations for the prevention, control, reduction and abatement of air pollution 

in this Commonwealth. Section 5(a)(8) of the APCA (35 P.S. § 4005(a)(8)) also grants the EQB

the authority to adopt rules and regulations designed to implement the provisions of the CAA.

Repeal of the Commonwealth Portable Fuel Container Regulation

1.1. Background

Attaining and maintaining concentrations of ground-level ozone below the health-based 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS is important because ozone is a serious human health threat and can cause 

damage to important food crops, forests, and wildlife. Repeated exposure to ground-level ozone 

pollution may cause a variety of adverse health effects for both healthy individuals and those 

with existing conditions, including difficulty breathing, chest pains, coughing, nausea, throat

irritation and congestion. Exposure to ground-level ozone can exacerbate bronchitis, heart 

disease, emphysema, asthma and reduce lung capacity. Asthma is a significant and growing 

threat to children and adults, which is aggravated by exposure to high concentrations of groundlevel ozone, leading to increases in asthma attacks, use of medication, medical treatment and 

instances of hospitalization. Ozone pollution usually forms in hot weather; anyone spending a 

significant amount of time outdoors in the summer may be affected, particularly children, the 

elderly, outdoor workers and people exercising. Children are most at risk from exposure to 

ground-level ozone because they are active outside during the summertime when ground-level 

ozone concentrations are highest.

The Commonwealth’s PFC regulation, published October 5, 2002 (32 Pa.B. 4819), limited

emissions of VOCs into the atmosphere from the use of PFCs designed to hold gasoline. The 

regulation restricted the sale, supply, offer for sale and manufacture of PFCs and spouts for sale and 

for use in this Commonwealth on or after January 1, 2003. The regulation was part of the 

Commonwealth’s specific action plan to attain and maintain the NAAQS for ground-level ozone 

in this Commonwealth, because VOCs are a precursor to the formation of ground-level ozone

and high concentrations of ground-level ozone are a serious public health and welfare threat

(32 Pa.B. 4819). The PFC regulation was approved as a revision to the SIP by the EPA on 

December 8, 2004 (69 FR 70893), and is codified at 40 CFR 52.2063(c)(229) (relating to 

original identification of plan section).

Following approval and incorporation of 25 Pa. Code §§ 130.101—130.108 by the EPA as a 

revision to the Commonwealth’s SIP, the PFC regulation was included as a VOC control measure in 

a number of approved revisions to the SIP, including the Redesignation Requests and Maintenance 

Plans for the 1997 8-hour Ozone NAAQS for 15 different areas and the Attainment Demonstration 

for the Philadelphia Area 8-hour Ozone Nonattainment Area. The DEP also based emission 

estimates submitted to the National Emissions Inventory (NEI) on the Commonwealth’s regulatory 

requirements for PFCs.

On February 26, 2007, the EPA promulgated Federal PFC requirements, applicable nationwide 

(72 FR 8428). The federal requirements, codified at 40 CFR 59.600—59.699 (relating to control of 

emissions from new and in-use portable fuel containers), were effective nationwide beginning 

January 1, 2009. The Federal PFC emission reduction requirements apply to more types of 

portable containers. The Federal PFC requirements also have more stringent permeation and 

evaporation standards and eliminate problematic auto shut-off spouts. Finally, the Federal 

requirements are effective nationwide and eliminate non-compliant cross-state border sales.

1.2. Non-Interference Analysis

Section 110(l) of the CAA states that the EPA Administrator may not approve a revision to a SIP 

if the revision would interfere with any applicable requirement concerning attainment and 

reasonable further progress or any other applicable requirement of the CAA. The following 

analysis demonstrates that repealing the Commonwealth’s regulatory requirements and relying 

on the federal requirements for portable fuel containers does not run contrary to Section 110(l). 

Replacing the Commonwealth requirements with the Federal requirements creates a greater than 

one to one reduction in projected VOC emissions for the same time period. Table 1.1 compares 

the PFC requirements that existed in the Commonwealth regulation and the PFC requirements in 

the Federal regulation.

Applicable to All 50 States No Yes

The Federal PFC requirements codified at 40 CFR 59.600—59.699 achieve greater emission 

reductions than the Commonwealth PFC regulation for four reasons:

1. The Federal PFC emission reduction requirements apply to portable containers for 

diesel and kerosene in addition to portable containers for gasoline fuels. The 

Commonwealth requirements applied only to portable containers for gasoline fuels.

2. The Federal PFC emission reduction requirements do not require automatic shut-off 

spouts. The Commonwealth PFC regulation required automatic shut-off spouts. In 

72 FR 8428, at page 8500, the EPA writes that automatic shut-off spouts actually 

increase spillage and emissions due to the wide variety of fill-hole designs on the 

receiving fuel tanks. As a result, the auto shut-off spouts do not work well with a 

variety of equipment types.

3. The federal permeation and evaporation standard for PFCs of less than 0.3 grams 

hydrocarbons per gallon of fuel per day is 25% more stringent than the permeation 

standard of less than 0.4 grams per gallon of gasoline per day in the Commonwealth 

regulation.

4. The Federal requirements apply to all PFCs manufactured in or imported into the 

United States for use in the United States beginning January 1, 2009. This reduces the 

opportunity for cross-state border sales of non-compliant PFCs. The Commonwealth 

PFC regulation did not prevent cross-state border sales of non-compliant PFCs.

Each of the Federal requirements in Table 1.1 is equally as stringent as, or more stringent than,

the corresponding Commonwealth PFC requirement. Substitution of the Federal PFC rule will 

provide equal or greater VOC reductions than the reductions achieved under the Commonwealth

regulation in each of the 1997 ozone maintenance plans, approved by EPA as SIP revisions.

Calculations

2.1. Emission Estimate Calculation Methodology for Federal PFC Requirements

The DEP estimated statewide VOC emissions using the control factors associated with the

Federal PFC requirements. In addition, DEP estimated emissions for Lancaster County to 

demonstrate that emission reductions will be achieved in smaller geographic areas within the 

Commonwealth. Similar percent reductions will occur in all individual counties, and in all other 

groups of counties such as attainment and maintenance areas, statewide because the requirements 

are being applied consistently in all counties in the same time frames. Emission estimates were 

calculated for 2002, 2009 and 2018. Because the Commonwealth PFC requirements went into 

effect in January 2003 and the Federal PFC requirements were effective January 2009, the rule 

penetration resulting from both effective dates was taken into account when calculating the 

emissions for the Federal PFC requirements. Rule penetration is an estimate of the percentage of 

emissions emitted by a facility or activity covered by a regulation. As older non-complying 

containers were replaced by Commonwealth-compliant containers and then with federallycompliant containers, the mix of container types changed. By 2020, all PFCs used in the 

Commonwealth are expected to be federally-compliant containers.

2002 Statewide Emissions

The 2002 actual VOC emissions estimate of 12,255.32 tons per year was originally calculated for 

DEP by E.H. Pechan & Associates, Inc. The Pechan calculations are documented in the 

Mid-Atlantic Regional Air Management Association, (MARAMA) file 

MANEVU_2002_Area_040606.mdb, located at the MARAMA website www.marama.org. The 

Department included all relevant MARAMA emissions estimates used in calculations in this

revision in the appendix. The 2002 actual VOC emissions estimate was used as the basis for the 

demonstration for both the Commonwealth and the Federal calculations because neither the 

Federal nor the Commonwealth regulation was in effect in 2002.

Calculating the 2009 Statewide Uncontrolled VOC Emissions from PFCs

The 2009 statewide projected VOC emissions of 8,923.08 tons per year came from MARAMA’s 

controlled, grown estimate contained in the file MANEVU2009AreaV3_1.mdb. The 2009 

MARAMA emission estimate was calculated using a control factor. To compare the emissions 

resulting from the two different regulations, the MARAMA number had to first be calculated as 

uncontrolled emissions. To remove the control factor (control efficiency, rule effectiveness and 

rule penetration) from the 2009 MARAMA emission estimate, the estimate was divided by the 

control factor MARAMA had originally applied, as shown below.
PA DEP Portable Fuel Containers SIP Revision Demonstration

- 6 -

Commonwealth Control Factor = Rule Effectiveness * Rule Penetration * Control Efficiency

Where:

Rule Effectiveness = 0.80

Control Efficiency = 0.55

Rule Penetration = 0.65

0.29 = 0.80 * 0.55 * 0.65

Statewide Uncontrolled VOC Emission = Controlled Emissions ÷ (1-Control Factor)

12,567.72 TPY = 8,923.079 TPY ÷ (1-0.29)

Estimating Statewide Controlled 2009 VOC Emissions with the Federal PFC Requirements 

Applied

After calculating the uncontrolled emission estimate, the Federal and Commonwealth control

factors were applied to the uncontrolled 2009 VOC estimate. Both sets of control factors were 

applied because in 2009 both the Federal and the Commonwealth requirements were in effect. 

Where the Federal requirement had not yet penetrated, a portion of the Commonwealth 

requirement had penetrated, creating a mixture of non-compliant, federally-compliant and 

Commonwealth-compliant PFCs.

Rule penetration was comprised of Federal plus Commonwealth requirements, as follows.

Federal Rule Control Factor = Rule Effectiveness * Rule Penetration * Control Efficiency

Where:

Federal Rule Effectiveness = 1.00

Federal Control Efficiency = 0.75

Federal Rule Penetration = 0.10

Combined Control Factor = Commonwealth Control Factor + Federal Control Factor

= 0.29 + (1.00 * 0.75 * 0.10)

= 0.29 + 0.08

= 0.37

Controlled Emissions = Uncontrolled VOC Emissions * (1 – Combined Control Factor)

7,917.66 TPY VOC = 12,567.72 * (1 – 0.37)

This same calculation methodology was then used to calculate the 2018 VOC estimate.
PA DEP Portable Fuel Containers SIP Revision Demonstration

Calculating the 2018 Statewide Uncontrolled VOC Emissions from PFCs

The 2018 statewide projected VOC emissions of 6,148.05 tons per year came from MARAMA’s 

controlled, grown estimate contained in the file MANEVU2018AreaV3_1.mdb.

The 2018 MARAMA number was calculated using a control factor. To compare the emissions 

resulting from the two different regulations, the MARAMA number had to first be calculated as 

uncontrolled emissions. To remove the control factor (control efficiency, rule effectiveness and 

rule penetration) from the 2018 MARAMA emission estimate, the estimate was divided by the 

control factor MARAMA had originally applied, as shown below.

Commonwealth Control Factor = Rule Effectiveness * Rule Penetration * Control Efficiency

Where:

Commonwealth Rule Effectiveness = 0.80

Commonwealth Rule Penetration = 1.0

Commonwealth Control Efficiency = 0.65

0.52 = 0.80 * 1.0 * 0.65 

Statewide Uncontrolled VOC Emission = Controlled Emissions ÷ (1-Control Factor)

12,808.44 TPY = 6,148.049 TPY ÷ (1 − 0.52)

Estimating Statewide Controlled 2018 VOC Emissions with the Federal PFC Requirements 

Applied

Then only the Federal control factor was applied, on the assumption that the Federal regulation 

had fully penetrated, entirely replacing the Commonwealth-compliant containers.

Federal Control Factor = Rule Effectiveness * Rule Penetration * Control Efficiency

Where:

Federal Rule Effectiveness = 1.0

Federal Control Efficiency = 0.75

Federal Rule Penetration = 1.0

0.75 = 1.0 * 1.0 * 0.75

Controlled Emissions = Uncontrolled VOC Emissions * (1 – Control Factor)

3202.11 TPY VOC = 12,808.44 * (1 − 0.75)

2.2. Emission Estimate Calculation Methodology for Commonwealth PFC Requirements

The Commonwealth emission estimate had previously been calculated for all years, and no 

further calculations or adjustments to the data were necessary.

The 2002 actual emissions were originally calculated for DEP by Pechan and are contained in 

the MARAMA file MANEVU_2002_Area_040606.mdb.

The 2009 projected emissions came from MARAMA’s controlled, grown estimate contained in 

the file MANEVU2009AreaV3_1.mdb. As the controls were already applied, this number was 

left unchanged. The controls assumed a control efficiency of 65 percent, a rule penetration of 55 

percent, and rule effectiveness of 80 percent.

The 2018 projected emissions developed by MARAMA are contained in their file 

MANEVU2018AreaV3_1.mdb. VOC projected emissions statewide were 6148.0494 tons per 

year. As controls were already applied, this number was left unchanged. The controls assumed

that the control efficiency equaled 65 percent, rule penetration equaled 100 percent, and rule 

effectiveness equaled 80 percent.

Table 2.1 summarizes the statewide VOC emissions calculated for the Federal Regulation and 

the Commonwealth Regulation for 2002, 2009 and 2018. The additional VOC reductions that 

result from the Federal Regulation are also shown below in Table 2.1.

Conclusion

The Federal PFC requirements achieve greater than 1-to-1 VOC emission reductions than the 

Commonwealth PFC regulation. Removal of the Commonwealth’s PFC regulation from the 

Commonwealth’s approved SIP and replacement of the VOC emission reductions with those 

achieved by the Federal PFC requirements will not adversely affect the Commonwealth’s 

attainment or maintenance of an ozone national ambient air quality standard, or reasonable 

further progress with attainment, or any other applicable CAA requirement. By applying the 

Federal PFC requirements, a representative county, Lancaster County, experiences a 12 percent 

reduction of VOC emissions in 2009 and a 48 percent reduction of VOC emissions in 2018 as 

Federally-compliant PFCs replace Commonwealth-compliant PFCs. Other counties in the

Commonwealth will also realize identical proportions of VOC emissions reductions as the 

control efficiency percentages are identical for every county. The projected VOC emission 

reductions demonstrate that substituting the Federal PFC requirements in the SIP for 

Pennsylvania’s PFC requirements will not violate the non-interference provisions of the CAA for 

any attainment or maintenance area.
Proposed Revision to Remove the Repealed Pennsylvania Portable Fuel Container 

Regulation from Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan; 

Public Hearing

The Environmental Quality Board amended Chapter 130 with a final-omitted rulemaking process 

that repeals Subchapter A, Portable Fuel Containers. The Portable Fuel Containers (PFC) 

regulation controlled volatile organic compound emissions from gasoline containers; the repeal 

of the regulation became effective on July 14, 2012, upon publication in the Pennsylvania 

Bulletin. The Commonwealth’s PFC regulation was codified at Title 25, Chapter 130, 

Subchapter A, as set forth in §§ 130.101 – 130.108, published 32 Pa.B. 4819 (October 5, 2002). 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved the PFC regulation as a revision to 

Pennsylvania’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) on December 8, 2004 (69 FR 70893). The SIP 

approval is codified at 40 CFR 52.2063(c)(229).

The PFC rule reduced emissions of volatile organic compounds by requiring portable gasoline 

containers to be designed to reduce emissions while in use and in storage. The Commonwealth’s 

rule required containers to have automatic shutoff spouts to reduce storage and to be designed in 

a way that reduced evaporation of stored gasoline. The Commonwealth’s portable fuel container 

regulation became less stringent than Federal standards, when a Federal rule was promulgated on 

February 26, 2007. The Federal rule is more stringent because it requires PFC manufacturers to 

make design changes that reduce emissions, it applies to types of fuel containers other than 

gasoline, and it applies nationwide which reduces the chance for cross-border sales.

The Department is seeking comment only on the revision to remove the PFC regulation from the

Commonwealth's SIP. The Department will hold one public hearing to receive oral testimony on 

the proposed SIP revision to satisfy requirements of Section 110(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act. A 

hearing will be held in Harrisburg on Tuesday, January 14, 2014, at 1 p.m. at the Department's 

Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110. The proposed SIP 

revision is available on the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (choose Air Plans) or 

through the contact persons listed below.

Persons who wish to present testimony at a scheduled hearing should contact Alex Haas, 

P.O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105, (717) 787-9495 or by e-mail at alehaas@pa.gov. Persons 

who do not reserve a time will be able to testify as time allows. Witnesses should keep 

testimony to 10 minutes and should provide two written copies of their statement at the hearing.

If, by Thursday, January 9, 2014, no person has expressed an interest in testifying at the hearing, 

the hearing will be cancelled. The Department will notify the public if the hearing is cancelled 

on the Bureau of Air Quality webpage, 

http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/airwaste/aq/default.htm.

Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or 

other accommodation to participate in the proceeding should contact Alex Haas at 

(717) 787-9495 or alehaas@pa.gov. TDD users may contact the AT&T Relay Service at 

(800) 654-5984 to discuss how the Department can best accommodate their needs.
The Department must receive comments no later than January 14, 2014. Written comments 

should be sent to the attention of Kirit Dalal, Air Resource Management Division Chief, Bureau 

of Air Quality, P.O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, or kdalal@pa.gov . Use “PFC SIP

NOTICE OF 

!;'UBUC HEARING 

Proposed Revision to Remove 

the Repealed Pennsylvania 

Portable Fuel Container 

Regulation from Pennsylvania's 

State lmplf:!mentation Plan 

The Environmental Quality 

Boardamended Chapter i30 with a 

final-omitted rulemaking process 

that repeals Subchapter A, Portable 

Fuel Containers, The Portable Fuef 

Containers (PFC) regulation controlled volatile organic compound 

emissions from gasoline containers; 

the repeal of the regulation became 

, effective on July 14, 2012, upon_ 

publication in -the Pennsylvania Bultetin, The Commonwealth's 

PFGregulation J:N8.s codified: at Tffie 

25. C~apter 130, Subchapter A,_ as 

set forth in§§. 130.101 - 130.108, 

published 32 Pa.B. 4819 (October 

5, 2002). The- U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency approved the 

PFC regulation as a revision. to 

Pennsylvania's Slate lmplementa~ 

tion Plan (SIP) on December 8, 

2004 (69 FR 70893-). The srp· ap~ 

proval is codified at 40 CFR 

52.2063(c)(229). 

ThePFCrule reduced emissions 

of volatile organic compounds by 

requiring portable gasoline containers to be designed tO reduce emis~ 

sions while in use anct. in storage. 

The Commonwealth's rule required 

containEJrs to. have automatic shutoff spouts to reduce storage and to 

be designed in a way that reduced 

eVaporation of stored gasoline. The 

Commonwealth's portable fuel container regulation became less stringent than Federal standards, when 

a Federal rufe was promulgated on 

February 26, 2007. The Federal 

rule is more stringent because it requires PFC manufacturers to make 

design changes that reduce emissions, it applies to types of fuel containers other than gasoline, and it 

applies nationwide which reduces 

the chance tor cross-border sales. 

The Department is seeking comment only on the revision to remove 

the PFC regulation from the Com~ 

monwea!th's SIP. The Department 

wm hold one public hearing to receive oral testimony on the proposed SIP revision to satisfy re~ 

qufrements of Section i10(a){2) of

SIP revision Is available on the De· 

partment's web , " site at

Proposed Revision to Remove the Repealed Pennsylvania Portable Fuel Container 

Regulation from Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan; 

Public Hearing 

The Environmental Quality Board amended Chapter 130 with a final-omitted rulemaking process 

that repeals Subchapter A, Portable Fuel Containers. The Portable Fuel Containers (PFC) 

regulation controlled volatile organic compound emissiohs from gasoline containers; the repeal of 

the regulation became effective on July 14, 2012, upon publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The 

Commonwealth's PFC regulation was codified at Title 25, Chapter 130, Subchapter A, as set forth 

in§§ 130.101 - 130.108, published 32 Pa.B. 4819 (October 5, 2002). The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency approved the PFC regulation as a revision to Pennsylvania's State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) on December 8, 2004 (69 FR 70893). The SIP approval is codified at 40 

CFR 52.2063(c)(229). 

The PFC rule reduced emissions of volatile organic compounds by requiring portable gasoline 

containers to be designed to reduce emissions while in use and in storage. The Commonwealth's 

rule required containers to have automatic shutoff spoUts toreduce storage and to be designed in a 

way that reduced evaporation of stored gasoline. The Commonwealth's portable fuel container 

regulation became less stringent than Federal standards, when a Federal rule was promulgated on 

February 26, 2007. The Federal rule is more stringent because it requires PFC manufacturers to 

make design changes that reduce emissions, it applies to types of fuel containers other than 

gasoline, and it applies nationwide which reduces the chance for cross-border sales. 

The Department is seeking comment only on the revision to remove the PFC regulation from the 

Commonwealth's SIP.-The Department will hold one public hearing to receive oral testimony on the 

proposed SIP revision to satisfy requirements of Section 110(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act A hearing 

will be held in Harrisburg on Tuesday, January 14, 2014, at 1 p.m. at the Department's Southcentral 

Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA-17110. The proposed SIP revision is 

available on the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (choose Air Plans) or through the 

contact persons listed below. 

Persons who wish to present testimony at a scheduled hearing should contact Alex Haas, 

P.O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105, (717) 787-9495 or by e-mail at aleiHas@pa.gov. Persons who 

do not reserve a ttme will be able to testify as time allows. Witnesses should keep testimony to 10 

minutes and should provide two written copies of their statement at the hearing. If, by Thursday, 

January 9, 2014, no person has expressed an interest in testifying at the hearing, the hearing will be 

cancelled. The Department will notify the public if the hearing is cancelled on the Bureau of Air 

Quality webpage, http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/airwaste/aq/default.htm. 

Persons with a disability who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceeding should contact Alex Haas at 

(717) 787-9495 or alehaas@pa.gov. TDD users may contact the AT&T Relay Service at 

(800) 654-5984 to discuss how the Department can best accommodate their needs. 

The Department must receive comments no later than January 14, 2014. Written comments should 

I be sent to the attention of Kirit Dalal, Air Resource Management Division Chief, Bureau of Ail

Proposed Revision to 

Remove the Repealed 

Pennsylvania Portable 

Fuel Container 

Regulation from 

Pennsylvania's State 

Implementation Plan; 

Public Hearing 

The Environmental Quality Board amended 

Chapter 130 with a finalomitted rulemaking 

process that repeals Subchapter A, Portable Fuel 

Containers. The Portable Fuel Containers (PFC) 

regulation controlled 

volatile or9anic com- pound em1ssions from 

gasoline containers; the 

repeal of the regulation became effective on July 

14,2012, upon publica- tion in the Pennsylvania 

Bufletin. The Commonwealth's PFC regulation was codified at Title 25, 

Chapter 130, Subchapter A, as set forth in §§ 

130.101-130.108, pub- lished 32 Pa.B. 4819 (O~ 

tober 5, 2002). The U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency approved 

the PFC regulation as a revision to Pennsylva- nia's State Implementation Plan (SIP) on December 8, 2004 (69 FR 

70893). The SIP approval 

is codified at 40 CFR 

52.2063(c)(229). 

The PFC rule reduced 

emissions of volatile or- ganic compounds by re- ~uiring portable gaso- lme containers to be designed to reduce emissions while in use and in 

storage. The Commonwealth's rule required containers to have automatic shutoff spouts to 

reduce stora9e and to 

be designed m a way that reduced evapora- tion of stored gasoline. 

The Commonwealth's 

portable fuel container 

regulation became less 

stringent than Federal 

standards, when a Federal rule was promulgat- ed on February 26, 2007. 

The Federal rule is more stringent because it re- quires PFC manufacturers 

to make design changes 

that reduce emissions, it 

applies to types of fuel 

containers other than 

gasoline, and it applies 

nationwide which re- duces the chance for 

cross-border sales. 

The Department is seeking comment only on the revision to remove the PFC regulation from 

the Commonwealth's 

SIP. The Department 

will hold one public hearing to receive oral 

testimony on the pro- posed SIP revision to satisfy requirements of Section 11 O(a)(2) of the 

Clean Air Act. A hearing will be held in Harrisburg on Tuesday, January 14, 2014, at 1 p.m. at 

the Department's Southcentral Regional Office, 

909 Elmerton Avenue, 

Harrisburg, PA 17110. 

The proposed SIP revision is available on the 

Department's web site

omitted ru!emaking process that re- peals Subchapter A Portable Fuel Contatners. The Portable Fuel Containers 

1 (PFCl regulation controlled volatile or- . ganic compound emissions from gaso- nne containers; the repeal of the regu:- tation became effective on July 14, 

2012, upon pub[ication in the Pennsyl· vania Bulletin. The Commonwealth's 

PFC regulation was codified at Title 25, 

Chapter 130, Subchapter A, as set forth ' 

in l! 130.101 - 130.108, published 32 

Pa.B. 4819 [October 5, 20021. The U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency all'" 

proved the PFC regulation as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Imple- mentation Ptan (SIP) on December S, 

2004{69 FR 70893). The SIP approval is 

codified at 40 CFR 52.20S3[cl{2291. 

The PFC rule reduced emissions of 

volatile: organic COflllQunds by requir- _ing pQrtabla gasoHoo containers to be 

de$!gne:d to reduce emissions while in use and in storaue. The Commonweallh1S rule -reqUired containers to · have automatic: shutoff spouts to re- duce- storage and to be designed In a way that reduced" evaporation of 

stored gasofine. The Commonwealth's 

portable fuel container regulation be- came less stringe_nt than Federal standards, when a Federal rule was pro- mulgated on February 26, 2001.- The 

Federal rule is more- stringent because 

It requires P'FC manufacturers to make ~esign, changes that reduce _emissions, i 

ft app!tes to types of -rue! -containers : other than gasoUne, and it appHe's- na- · _ttonwtde whJch reduces the chance for 

cross-border sales.

December 10, 2013 
Proposed Revision to Remove theRepealed Pennsylvania Portable Fuel Container Regulation from Pennsylvania's 

State Implementation Plan; 

Public Hearing The Environmental Quality Board 

amended Chapter 130 with a finalomitted rulemaklng process that repeals 

Subchapter A, Portable Fuel Containers. 

The Portable Fuel Containers (PFC) 

regulation control! ed volatile organic compound emissions from gasoline con- tainers; the repeal of the regulation be- came effective on July 14, 2012, upon publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. 

The Commonwealth's PFC regulation was codified at Title 25, Chapter 130, 

Subchapter A, asset forth In 130.101-

130.108, published 32 Pa. B. 4819 (October 

5,2002). The U.S. Environmental Pro- tection Agency approved the PFC regu- lation as a revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan {51 P) on De- cember 8, 2004 (69 FR 70893). The SIP 

aPProval is codified at40 CFR 

52.2063{ c) (229}. 

The PFC rule reduced emissions of 

volat!le organic compounds by requiring portable gasoline containers to be designed to reduce emissions whlle In use and in storage, The Commonwealth's 

rule required containers to have auto- matic shutoff spouts to reduce storage 

and to be designed In a way that reduced 

evaporation of stored gasoline. The 

Commonwealth's portable fuel container 

regulation became less stringent than 

Federal standards, when a Federal rule was promulgated on February 26,2007. 

The Federal rule Is more stringent be- cause it requires PFC manufacturers to make design changes that reduce emissions, it applies to types of fuel contain- ers other than gasoline, and it apPlies 

nationwide which reduces the chance for 

cross-border sales. 

The Department Is seeking comment only on the revision to remove the PFC 

regulation from the Commonwealth's 

51 P. The Department will hold one pub- lic hearing to receive oral testimony on the proposed SIP revision to satisfy re- quirements of Section 110 (a) (2) of the 

Clean Air Act. A hearing will be held in 

Harrisburg on Tuesday, January 14, 

2014, at 1 p.m. at the Department's 

Southcentral Regional Office, 909 El- merton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110. 

The proposed Sl Prevision is available on the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (choose Air Plans) or through the contact persons listed below. Persons who wish to present testimony at a scheduled hearing should contact Alex Haas, P.O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, 
PA 17105, (717) 787-9495 or by e-mail at alehaas@pa.gov. Persons who do notre- serve a time will be able to testify as time allows. Witnesses should keep tes- timony to 10 minutes and should provide two written copies of their statement at the hearing. If, by Thursday, January 9, 

2014, no person has expressed an Inter- est in testifying at the hearing, the hearins will be cancelled. The Department
