Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Michigan; Consumer Products Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a request submitted by the 
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) on October 26, 
2007, to revise the Michigan State Implementation Plan (SIP). The State 
has requested revisions to two rules in Part 6, ``Emission Limitations 
and Prohibitions--Existing Sources of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) 
Emissions.'' The State has revised R 336.1660 by adopting by reference, 
with some modifications, the amended Ozone Transport Commission Model 
Rule published on September 13, 2006. The State has amended the 
definition of VOC in R 336.1661 by adopting the Federal definition from 
40 CFR 51.100.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 22, 2009.

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 EPA 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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; therefore, 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 Final Rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: May 6, 2009.
