ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[AZ 37-1-6592b; FRL-5099-6]

 

Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; Arizona 
State Implementation Plan Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Arizona State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern the control of emissions of 
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the transfer of gasoline into 
motor vehicle fuel tanks. On May 27, 1994, Arizona submitted a SIP 
revision request to EPA to satisfy the requirement of section 182(b)(3) 
of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act), which 
requires all ozone nonattainment areas classified as moderate or worse 
to require owners and operators of gasoline dispensing facilities to 
install and operate stage II vapor recovery equipment. In the Rules 
Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP 
revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision amendment and 
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for this approval 
is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are 
received in response to this proposed rule, no further activity is 
contemplated in relation to this rule. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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. The EPA will not institute a second comment period 
on this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this action 
should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
December 1, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to: 
Daniel A. Meer, Rulemaking Section (A-5-3), Air and Toxics Division,
