Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

Michigan; Control of Gasoline Volatility 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

a State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision submitted by the State of 

Michigan on May 26, 2006 and July 14, 

2006, establishing a lower Reid Vapor 

Pressure (RVP) fuel requirement for 

gasoline distributed in the Southeast 

Michigan area which includes Lenawee, 

Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, 

St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne 

Counties. Michigan has developed these 

fuel requirements to reduce emissions of 

volatile organic compounds (VOC) in 

accordance with the requirements of the 

Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA is proposing 

to approve Michigan’s fuel requirements 

into the Michigan SIP because EPA has 

found that the requirements are 

necessary for Southeast Michigan to 

achieve the 8-hr ozone national ambient 

air quality standard (NAAQS). This 

action is being taken under section 110 

of the CAA.
