SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. What Action Is EPA Taking? Today we are approving the compliance date changes found in the March 9, 2005, TXLED SIP revision submitted by the State of Texas. We are approving the phased schedule for compliance which extends the compliance date from April 1, 2005 to October 1, 2005 for producers and importers, from April 1, 2005 to November 15, 2005 for bulk plant distribution facilities, and from April 1, 2005 to January 1, 2006 for retail fuel dispensing outlets, wholesale bulk purshaser/consumer facilities, and all other affected persons. II. What Is the Background for This Action? We approved the original TXLED rule on November 14, 2001, (66 FR 57196) as part of the Texas SIP and also found that it was relied upon for demonstrating attainment in the Houston-Galveston Attainment Demonstration SIP. On December 15, 2004, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Commissioners proposed to revise the TXLED rule. Among other revisions, the commission proposed to extend the compliance date from April 1, 2005 to October 1, 2005. The commission proposed this extension because of concern about product availability by the current compliance date. On February 16, 2005 the Executive Director of the TCEQ submitted a letter to EPA requesting parallel processing of the compliance date portion of the SIP revision for TXLED. On February 24, 2005, we proposed approval, through parallel processing, of a revision to the SIP that would change the compliance date for TXLED fuel from April 1, 2005, to October 1, 2005, consistent with a proposed revision to the state rule that the state had noticed for public hearing. In addition, we proposed approval and requested comments on a refinement to the State’s proposed revision that the state had subsequently indicated that it was considering. The refinement would extend the compliance date from April 1, 2005 to October 1, 2005 for producers and importers, from April 1, 2005 to November 15, 2005 for bulk plant distribution facilities, and from April 1, 2005 to January 1, 2006 for retail fuel dispensing outlets, wholesale bulk purchaser/consumer facilities, and all other affected persons. The commission adopted revisions to the TXLED SIP on March 9, 2005. The revision was submitted to EPA on March 23, 2005. The submitted revision is consistent with our proposal. It
