The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of New Hampshire. The revisions establish recordkeeping and reporting obligations for sources of air pollution. Additionally, we are proposing approval of an order limiting emissions of volatile organic compounds from a facility in the state. This action is being taken in accordance with the Clean Air Act.

# DATES:

Written comments must be received on or before December 14, 2017.

# ADDRESSES:

                        Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R01-OAR-2017-0266 at                         *https://www.regulations.gov,*                         or via email to                         *mcconnell.robert@epa.gov.*                         For comments submitted at                         *Regulations.gov*, follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or removed from                         *Regulations.gov*. For either manner of submission, the EPA may publish any comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA will generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of the primary submission (                        *i.e.*                         on the web, cloud, or other file sharing system). For additional submission methods, please contact the person identified in the                         **For Further Information Contact**                         section.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    In the Final Rules Section of this                     **Federal Register**                    , EPA is approving the State's SIP submittals as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views them as noncontroversial submittals 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 action 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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**                    .
