ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[Region II Docket No. NY25-2-173a, FRL-5995-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; New York State 
Implementation Plan Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision for ozone concerning the control of volatile organic 
compounds submitted by the New York State Department of Environmental 
Conservation. The SIP revision consists of amendments to the New York 
Code of Rules and Regulations, Part 230, ``Gasoline Dispensing Sites 
and Transport Vehicles.'' These revisions were submitted to comply with 
the gasoline vapor recovery provisions of the Clean Air Act. In the 
final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving New 
York's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal 
because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision 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 that direct final rule no further 
activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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. The 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 June 1, 1998.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: Ronald J. Borsellino, 
Chief, Air Programs Branch, Environmental Protection Agency, Region 2 
Office, 290 Broadway, 25th Floor, New York, New York 10007-1866.
