SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’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 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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of this rule and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule which is located 

in the Rules section of this Federal 

Register.

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Virginia; 

Revisions to the Attainment Plans for 

the Commonwealth of Virginia Portion 

of the Washington, DC–MD–VA 1990 1- 

Hour and 1997 8-Hour Ozone 

Nonattainment Areas and the 

Maintenance Plan for the 

Fredericksburg 1997 8-Hour Ozone 

Maintenance Area To Remove the 

Stage II Vapor Recovery Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) proposes to approve 

revisions to the Commonwealth of 

Virginia (Virginia) State Implementation 

Plan (SIP). These revisions remove the 

Stage II vapor recovery program (Stage 

II) from the attainment plans for the 

Virginia portion of the Washington, DC– 

MD–VA 1990 1-Hour and 1997 8-Hour 

National Ambient Air Quality Standard 

(NAAQS) Nonattainment Areas 

(Northern Virginia Areas), as well as 

from the maintenance plan for the 

Fredericksburg 1997 8-Hour Ozone 

NAAQS Maintenance Area 

(Fredericksburg Area). These revisions 

also include an analysis that addresses 

the impact of removal of Stage II from 

the attainment and maintenance plans. 

The analysis submitted by the 

Commonwealth satisfies the 

requirements of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA). 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 

detailed rationale for the approval is set 

forth in the direct final rule and the 

Technical Support Document (TSD) 

prepared in support of this rulemaking 

action. A copy of the TSD is available, 

upon request, from the EPA Regional 

Office listed in the ADDRESSES section of 

this document. 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. 

DATES: Comments must be received in 

writing by June 25, 2015.

Instructions: Direct your comments to

claimed to be Confidential Business

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov 

or email. The www.regulations.gov Web 

site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, 

which means EPA will not know your 

identity or contact information unless 

you provide it in the body of your 

comment. If you send an email 

comment directly to EPA without going 

through www.regulations.gov, your 

email address will be automatically 

captured and included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the public 

docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the 

electronic docket are listed in the
