Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans; Arizona State

Implementation Plan Revision, Pinal

County Air Quality Control District and

Pinal-Gila Counties Air Quality Control

District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve

revisions to the Arizona State

Implementation Plan (SIP) which

concern rules from the Pinal County Air

Quality Control District (PCAQCD) and

Pinal-Gila Counties Air Quality Control

District (PGCAQCD).

The intended effect of this action is to

provide support for general permitting

requirements for stationary sources in

the PCAQCD in accordance with the

requirements of the Clean Air Act, as

amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). 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

revision and anticipates no adverse

comments. A detailed rationale for this

approval is set forth in the direct final

rule. If no adverse comments are

received, no further action 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withdrawn and all public comments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. The EPA will not

institute a second comment period. Any

parties interested in commenting should

do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be

received by January 19, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Mail comments to: Andrew

Steckel, Chief, Rulemaking Office, (AIR–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

document concerns the clarification of

SIP on April 9, 1996 (61 FR 15717). In

addition, The PCAQCD Rules 1–1–050,

1–1–055, 1–1–105, and 3–1–080 and

PGCAQCD Rules 7–1–2.2, 7–1–2.4, 7–1–

2.7, 7–2–1.3, and 7–3–6.1 are being

removed from the SIP. PCAQCD Rules

3–1–045 and 3–1–100 are clarified as

Approval and Promulgation of Air

Quality Implementation Plans; Texas;

Control of Emissions of Volatile

Organic Compounds from Batch

Processes, Industrial Wastewater and

Service Stations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

79790 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 245 / Wednesday, December 20, 2000 / Proposed Rules

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to take

direct final action on revisions to the

Texas State Implementation Plan

provisions for the control of volatile

organic compounds (VOCs). This rule

covers three separate actions. First, we

are approving revisions to the rules for

controlling emissions from industrial

wastewater for the Houston/Galveston,

Beaumont/Port Arthur, Dallas/Fort

Worth and El Paso areas. Second, we are

approving new rules for the control of

emissions from batch processes in the

Beaumont/Port Arthur area. Third, we

are approving rules that added

requirements for vapor recovery at

service stations in the 95 counties in the

eastern half of Texas.

The EPA is approving these revisions

to regulate emissions of Volatile Organic

Compounds in accordance with the

requirements of the Federal Clean Air

Act.

In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’

section of this Federal Register, EPA is

approving the State’s SIP revision as a

direct final rule without prior proposal

because the EPA views this as a

noncontroversial revision and

anticipates no adverse comment. The

EPA has explained its reasons for this

approval in the preamble to the direct

final rule. If EPA receives no relevant

adverse comments, the EPA will not

take further action on this proposed

rule. If EPA receives relevant adverse

comment, EPA will withdraw the direct

final rule and it will not take effect. The

EPA will address all public comments

in a subsequent final rule based on this

proposed rule. The EPA will not

institute a second comment period on

this action. Any parties interested in

commenting must do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be

received by January 19, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be addressed to Mr. Thomas H. Diggs,

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

the EPA Region 6 Office listed below.

Copies of documents relevant to this

action are available for public

inspection during normal business

hours at the following locations.

Anyone wanting to examine these

documents should make an

appointment with the appropriate office

at least two working days in advance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

document concerns revisions to the

Texas State Implementation Plan

provisions for the control of VOCs. The

revisions strengthen the requirements

for the control of emissions from

industrial wastewater, add requirements

for the control of emissions from batch

processes and add requirements for the

control of emissions during the filling of

storage tanks at gasoline service stations

in 95 counties in the eastern half of

Texas. For further information, please

see the information provided in the

direct final action that is located in the

‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this

Approval of Air Quality Implementation

Plan Revisions and Section 112(I)

Program; Colorado; Issuance of

Permits To Limit Potential to Emit

Criteria and Hazardous Air Pollutants

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to

approve revisions to Colorado’s

construction permit requirements in

Regulation No. 3 and hazardous air

pollutant requirements in Regulation

No. 8 of the State Air Quality Control

Commission (AQCC) regulations,

regarding permits to limit potential to

emit criteria and hazardous air

pollutants (HAPs). These revisions were

submitted to EPA on April 26, 1996.

Colorado submitted these revisions to

create federally enforceable limits on

criteria pollutants and HAPs, for both

new and existing sources, through the

State’s construction permit program.

EPA is approving the revisions to

Regulation No. 3 regarding criteria

pollutants as part of Colorado’s state

implementation plan (SIP) under

section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

SIP approval under section 110 of the

CAA, however, only extends to the

control of HAPs that are criteria

pollutants, such as volatile organic

compounds or particulate matter,

whereas section 112 of the CAA

provides the underlying authority for

controlling all HAPs listed in section

112(b) of the CAA. Therefore, the EPA

is also approving the revisions to

Regulation No. 3 and Regulation No. 8

under section 112(l) of the CAA.

In the Final Rules Section of this

Federal Register, EPA is approving the

States’ revisions to Regulations No. 3

and 8 as a direct final rule without prior

proposal because the Agency views

these as noncontroversial revisions 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 proposed rule, no

further activity is contemplated in

relation to this rule. 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 on this action.

Any parties interested in commenting

on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in

writing on or before January 19, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be

mailed to Richard R. Long, Director, Air

and Radiation Program, Mailcode 8P–

AR, Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA), Region VIII, 999 18th Street,

Suite 300, Denver, Colorado, 80202.

action are available for public

hours at the Air and Radiation Program,
