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 relevant 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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. 

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 

Implementation Plans; Florida; 

Removal of Gasoline Vapor Recovery 

From Southeast Florida Areas 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision submitted by the State of 

Florida (Florida) on May 31, 2007, for 

the purpose of removing Stage II vapor 

control requirements for new and 

upgraded gasoline dispensing facilities 

in Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach 

Counties (hereafter referred to as the 

‘‘Southeast Florida Area’’), and to phase 

out Stage II requirements for existing 

facilities in those counties. In addition, 

EPA is proposing to approve this SIP 

revision which would require new and 

upgraded gasoline dispensing facilities 

and new bulk gasoline plants statewide 

to employ Stage I vapor control systems, 

and would phase in Stage I vapor 

control requirements statewide for 

existing gasoline dispensing facilities. 

In the Final Rules Section of this 

Federal Register, EPA is approving the 

State’s SIP revision 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 

on this document. Any parties 

interested in commenting on this 

document should do so at this time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

The General Services Administration 

(GSA) is amending the General Services 

Administration Acquisition Regulation 

(GSAR) to update the text addressing 

GSAR 505 Publicizing Contract Actions, 

Subpart 505.1 Dissemination of 

Information, Subpart 505.2 Synopses of 

Proposed Contract Actions, and 505.5 

Paid Advertisements. This rule is a 

result of the General Services 

Administration Acquisition Manual 

(GSAM) Rewrite initiative undertaken 

by GSA to revise the GSAM to maintain 

consistency with the FAR and 

implement streamlined and innovative 

acquisition procedures that contractors, 

offerors, and GSA contracting personnel 

can utilize when entering into and 

administering contractual relationships. 

The GSAM incorporates the General 

Services Administration Acquisition 

Regulation (GSAR) as well as internal 

agency acquisition policy. 

GSA will rewrite each part of the 

GSAR and GSAM, and as each GSAR 

part is rewritten, will publish it in the 

Federal Register. 

This rule covers the GSAR portion of 

Part 505. Currently, Subparts 505.1, 

505.2 and 505.5 are identified as 

‘‘shaded’’ for regulatory coverage; 

however, the agency has deemed, 

during the rewrite process, these 

Subparts as non-regulatory because the 

coverage addresses internal agency 

acquisition policy. These Subparts have 

been revised and will be moved to the 

non-regulatory portion of the GSAM. 

There were no public comments 

received in response to the Advanced 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

published in the Federal Register at 71 

FR 7910, February 15, 2006. 

This is not a significant regulatory 

action and, therefore, was not subject to 

review under Section 6(b) of Executive 

Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and 

Review, dated September 30, 1993. This 

rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 

804. 

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The General Services Administration 

does not expect this proposed rule to 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities 

within the meaning of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., 

because the revisions are not considered 

substantive. The revisions only update 

and reorganize existing coverage. An 

Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 

has, therefore, not been performed. We 

invite comments from small businesses 

and other interested parties. GSA will 

consider comments from small entities 

concerning the affected GSAR Part 505 

in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 610. 

Interested parties must submit such 

comments separately and should cite 5 

U.S.C. 601, et seq. (GSAR case 2008– 

G503), in correspondence. 

C. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act does 

not apply because the proposed changes 

to the GSAM do not impose information 

collection requirements that require the 

approval of the Office of Management 

and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et 

seq. 

List of Subjects in 48 CFR Part 505 

Government procurement. 

Dated: August 27, 2008. 

Al Matera, 

Director, Office of Acquisition Policy. 

Therefore, under the authority of 40 

U.S.C. 121(c), GSA proposes to remove 

48 CFR part 505.
