ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2006-0541; FRL-8449-7]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; MI

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving a request submitted by the Michigan 
Department of Environmental Management (MDEQ) on March 31, 2006, to 
revise the Michigan State Implementation Plan (SIP) to amend R336.1627 
and R336.2005, and adopt R336.2004. These changes take place within 
Part 6, Emission Limitations and Prohibitions--Existing Sources of 
Volatile Organic Compound Emissions; Delivery Vessels; Vapor Collection 
Systems; and Part 10, Intermittent Testing and Sampling, respectively.
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal, because EPA views this as a noncontroversial revision and 
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval 
is set forth in the direct final rule. If we do not receive any adverse 
comments in response to these direct final and proposed rules, we do 
not contemplate taking any further action in relation to this proposed 
rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, we will withdraw the direct 
final rule and will respond to all public comments in a subsequent 
final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second 
comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on 
this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 4, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial submittal 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 this rule, no 
further activity is contemplated. 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. 
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, 
paragraph, or section of this rule, and if that provision may be 
severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those 
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. 
For additional information, see the direct final rule which is located 
in the Rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: July 24, 2007.
