require an assessment of potential costs 

and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that 

order. It has been exempted from review 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget under that order. It is not 

significant under the regulatory policies 

and procedures of the Department of 

Transportation (DOT) (44 FR 11040; 

February 26, 1979). The Coast Guard 

expects the economic impact of this 

proposal to be so minimal that a full 

Regulatory Evaluation under paragraph 

lOe of the regulatory policies and 

procedures of DOT is unnecessary. 

Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601 etseq.), the Coast Guard 

must consider whether this proposed 

rule, if adopted will have a significant 

economic effect upon a substantial 

number of small entities. "Small 

entities" include small businesses, notfor-profit organizations that are 

independently owned and operated and 

are not dominant in their fields, and 

governmental jurisdictions with 

populations of less than 50,000. 

Therefore, the Coast Guard certifies 

under section 605(b) of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 etseq.) that 

this rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities as it will only 

effect anchored vessels in the waters off 

Port Everglades and the changes are 

minor in nature. 

Collection of Information 

This rule contains no collection of 

information requirements under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501 etseq). 

Federalism 

The Coast Guard has analyzed this 

rule under the principles and criteria 

contained in Executive Order 12612 and 

has determined that this rule does not 

have sufficient federalism implications 

to warrant the preparation of a 

Federalism Assessment. 

Environmental Assessment 

The Coast Guard considered the 

environmental impact of this rule and 

concluded under Figure 2-1 , paragraph 

34(f) of Commandant Instruction 

M16475.1C, that this rule is 

categorically excluded from further 

environmental documentation. An 

environmental analysis checklist and 

Categorical Exclusion Determination 

will be completed during the comment 

period.

[TX86-1-7351b; FRL-6208-4] 

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans, Texas; 

Reasonably Available Control 

Technology for Emissions of Volatile 

Organic Compounds (VOC) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The EPA is taking direct final 

action on demonstrations submitted by 

Texas on January 10, 1996, that 

Reasonably Available Control 

Technology (RACT) is in place on 

sources in the following source 

categories: Volatile Organic Liquid 

(VOL) Storage, Synthetic Organic 

Chemical Manufacturing Industry 

Reactor and Distillation Processes and 

Plastic Parts coating. Also EPA is taking 

direct final action on revisions to the 

Texas Rules for the control of VOC 

emissions that the State submitted 

between 1995 and 1997. Finally, for 

most of the measures given limited 

approval in the May 22, 1997 Federal 

Register (62 FR 27964), this direct final 

action converts the limited approval to 

a full approval. 

In the Rules and Regulations section 

of this Federal Register, we are 

approving the State's State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision as a 

direct final rule without prior proposal 

because we view this as a 

noncontroversial revision and anticipate 

no adverse comment. We have 

explained our reasons for this approval 

in the preamble to the direct final rule. 

If we receive no relevant adverse 

comments, we will not take further 

action on this proposed rule. If we 

receive relevant adverse comments, EPA 

will withdraw the direct final rule and 

it will not take effect. We will address 

all relevant public comments in a 

subsequent final rule based on this 

proposed rule. We will not institute a 

second comment period on this action. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action must do so at this time. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received by February 25, 1999. 

ADDRESSEES: Written comments should 

be addressed to Mr. Thomas H. Diggs, 

Chief, Air Planning Section (6PD-L), at 

the EPA Regional Office listed below. 

Copies of the documents relevant to this 

proposed rule are available for public 

inspection during normal business 

hours at the following locations. 

Interested persons wanting to examine 

these documents should make an 

appointment with the appropriate office 

at least 24 hours before the visiting day.
