[EPA-R04-OAR-2007-0113-201016(b); FRL-9234-3]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Georgia: Stage 
II Vapor Recovery

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Georgia State 
Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted by the Georgia Environmental 
Protection Division on September 26, 2006, with a clarifying revision 
submitted on November 6, 2006. The September 26, 2006, submittal 
includes multiple modifications to Georgia's Air Quality Rules found at 
Chapter 391-3-1. Previously, EPA took action on the majority of the 
September 26, 2006, submittal in an action published in the Federal 
Register on February 9, 2010. In today's action, EPA is addressing only 
the portion of the September 26, 2006, submittal that relates to 
revisions to Georgia's Stage II gasoline vapor recovery rule at 391-3-
1-.02(zz). These revisions are part of Georgia's strategy to meet the 
national ambient air quality standards. EPA has preliminarily 
determined that these revisions are consistent with the December 12, 
2006, EPA memorandum from Stephen D. Page entitled Removal of Stage II 
Vapor Recovery in Situations Where Widespread Use of Onboard Refueling 
Vapor Recovery is Demonstrated. EPA is proposing to approve Georgia's 
SIP revisions pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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 on this document. 
Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at 
this time.
    For additional information see the direct final rule which is 
published in the Rules Section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: November 10, 2010.
