The first 2 hours of each meeting will

be an open house, discussion session.

Representatives of the NPS will be

available to answer questions and hear

your comments in a more informal

setting. The rest of the meeting will be

a public hearing; a brief introduction by

the hearing facilitator will be followed

by public testimony on the plan.

The environmental assessment

evaluates the proposed action and four

alternatives for managing commercial

fishing in the marine waters of the park.

The proposed action (Alternative

One) would allow commercial fishing

by qualified fishers in non-wilderness

marine waters of Glacier Bay proper to

continue for 15 years; commercial

fishing in wilderness waters would end

at the time the regulations go into effect.

Commercial fishing would generally be

authorized to continue in nonwilderness waters outside Glacier Bay

proper under a cooperative fisheries

management plan developed by the NPS

and State of Alaska.

Alternative Two-No Action—This

alternative would enforce the existing

statutory and regulatory prohibitions

regarding commercial fishing activities

within the marine waters of the park.

Enforcement of NPS regulations would

result in the immediate cessation of all

commercial fisheries in all park waters

with no opportunity to phase out fishing

through limited exemptions.

Alternative Three—This alternative

incorporates marine reserve concepts

consistent with the park’s purposes.

Specifically, this alternative would

focus on protecting those species for

which the park serves as an appropriate

marine reserve (i.e., resident species)

while allowing continued harvest of

species that are subject to harvest

outside park waters (i.e., transient

species).

Alternative Four—This alternative

would allow local individuals to

continue commercial fishing throughout

Glacier Bay National Park. This

alternative would prohibit only those

fisheries that cannot be sustained or that

cause unacceptable habitat degradation.

Alternative Five—This alternative

would implement a fisheries plan

described in a NPS proposed regulations

released in 1991. It would end all

commercial fishing activities in the park

after seven years, and until that time

would allow commercial fishing in nonwilderness waters by traditional

methods.

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans; New York State

Implementation Plan Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve

the State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision for ozone concerning the

control of volatile organic compounds

submitted by the New York State

Department of Environmental

Conservation. The SIP revision consists

of amendments to the New York Code

of Rules and Regulations, Part 230,

‘‘Gasoline Dispensing Sites and

Transport Vehicles.’’ These revisions

were submitted to comply with the

gasoline vapor recovery provisions of

the Clean Air Act. In the final rules

section of this Federal Register, EPA is

approving New York’s SIP revision as a

direct final rule without prior proposal

because the Agency views this as a

noncontroversial revision and

anticipates no relevant adverse

comments. A detailed rationale for the

approval is set forth in the direct final

rule. If no relevant adverse comments

are received in response to that direct

final rule no further activity is

contemplated in relation to this

proposed rule. If EPA receives relevant

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 on

this proposal. Any parties interested in

commenting on this proposal should do

so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before June 1, 1998.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be

addressed to: Ronald J. Borsellino,

Chief, Air Programs Branch,

Environmental Protection Agency,

Region 2 Office, 290 Broadway, 25th

Floor, New York, New York 10007–

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans; California State

Implementation Plan Revision, South

Coast Air Quality Management District

State Implementation Plan Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing a limited

approval and limited disapproval of

revisions to the California State

Implementation Plan (SIP) which

concern the control of volatile organic

compound (VOC) and oxides of sulfur

(SOX) emissions from petroleum

refinery vacuum-producing devices or

systems, including hot wells and

accumulators.

The intended effect of proposing

limited approval and limited

disapproval of this rule is to regulate

emissions of VOCs and SOX in

accordance with the requirements of the

Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990

(CAA or the Act). EPA’s final action on

this proposed rule will incorporate this

rule into the federally approved SIP.

EPA has evaluated the rule and is

proposing a simultaneous limited

approval and limited disapproval under

provisions of the CAA regarding EPA
