40 CFR Part 52

[ME-23-1-6827b; A-1-FRL-5214-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Maine; Gasoline Marketing Regulations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the State of Maine on July 6, 1994. This revision 
consists of regulations which require the implementation of reasonably 
available control technology (RACT) for controlling volatile organic 
compound (VOC) emissions from gasoline marketing operations. In the 
Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the 
gasoline marketing regulations included in the State's July 6, 1994 SIP 
submittal. EPA is approving several of these regulations as a direct 
final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views them as 
noncontroversial 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 that direct final rule, no 
further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed 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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn 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. EPA will not institute a second 
comment period on this proposal. Any parties interested in commenting 
on this proposal should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 31, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Susan Studlien, Acting Director, 
Air, Pesticides and Toxics Management Division, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region I, JFK Federal Bldg., Boston, MA 02203. 
Copies of the State submittal and EPA's technical support document are 
available for public inspection during normal business hours, by 
appointment at the Air, Pesticides and Toxics Management Division, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region I, One Congress Street, 10th 
floor, Boston, MA and the Bureau of Air Quality Control, Department of 
Environmental Protection, 71 Hospital Street, Augusta, ME 04333.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anne E. Arnold, (617) 565-3166.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For additional information, see the direct 
final rule which is located in the Rules Section of this Federal 
Register.

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.

    Dated: May 19, 1995.
