Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Maine; Stage II Vapor Recovery

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 24, 1995. This 
revision includes requirements for controlling volatile organic 
compound (VOC) emissions from bulk gasoline terminals and gasoline 
dispensing facilities. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal and does not anticipate any 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 November 14, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Susan Studlien, Deputy Director, 
Office of Ecosystem Protection, 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 Office 
of Ecosystem Protection, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 
I, One Congress Street, 11th 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.
