AGENCY:

Agency
(
EPA).

ACTION:
Proposed
rule.

SUMMARY:
EPA
is
proposing
to
approve
Texas
State
Implementation
Plan
(
SIP)
revisions.

The
revisions
pertain
to
regulations
to
control
VOC
emissions
from
VOC
transfer
operations
and
solvent
using
processes.
The
revisions
allow
use
of
gasoline
vapor
recovery
systems
approved
by
Texas,
and
add
new
requirements
to
control
VOC
emissions
from
motor
vehicle
fuel
dispensing
facilities
and
surface
coating
facilities
in
Ellis,
Johnson,
Kaufman,
Parker,
and
Rockwall
Counties.

These
counties
are
part
of
the
DFW
8­
hour
ozone
standard
nonattainment
area.
The
revisions
also
amend
regulations
on
use
of
cleaning
solvents.
We
are
proposing
to
approve
the
revisions
pursuant
to
sections
110,
116
and
part
D
of
the
Federal
Clean
Air
Act
(
CAA).
The
control
of
VOC
emissions
will
help
to
attain
and
maintain
the
8­
hour
national
ambient
air
quality
standard
(
NAAQS)
for
ozone
in
Texas.
Approval
will
make
the
revised
regulations
Federally
enforceable.

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
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
this
action,
no
further
activity
is
contemplated.
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withdrawn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.
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,
3
paragraph,
or
section
of
the
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.
