Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Virginia; 

Control of Volatile Organic Compound 

Emissions From Mondele ̄z Global LLC, 

Inc.—Richmond Bakery Located in 

Henrico County, Virginia 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) proposes to approve the 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revisions submitted by the 

Commonwealth of Virginia. The 

revision consist of a revised Federally 

enforceable state operating permit 

containing terms and conditions for the 

control of volatile organic compound 

(VOC) emissions from the Mondele ̄z 

Global LLC, Inc. (Mondele ̄z)— 

Richmond Bakery located in Henrico 

County, Virginia. This SIP revision 

establishes reasonably available control 

technology (RACT) for the control of 

VOC emissions from Mondele ̄z— 

Richmond Bakery. In the Final Rules 

section of this Federal Register, EPA is 

approving the Commonwealth’s SIP 

submittal as a direct final rule without 

prior proposal because the Agency 

views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A more detailed description 

of the state submittal and EPA’s 

evaluation is included in the notice of 

direct final rulemaking and the 

Technical Support Document (TSD) 

prepared in support of this rulemaking 

action. The TSD is available on 

www.regulations.gov under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R03–OAR–2014–0179. If no 

adverse comments are received in 

response to this action, 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will be withdrawn and all public 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. Any parties 

interested in commenting on this action 

should do so at this time.

II. Background 

Coal, and some other leasable 

minerals, may naturally contain various 

concentrations of methane. Methane can 

be recovered from the coal or other 

mineralized seams without mining 

operations. The recovery of methane 

from coal seams without mining 

operations is known as coalbed methane 

recovery and is common in the United 

States (http://www.epa.gov/cmop/

accomplishments.html and http://

www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/hist/rngr52nus_

1a.htm). For Federal lands, recovery of 

coalbed methane is authorized through 

an oil and gas lease under the Mineral
