ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2015-0336; FRL-9932-24-Region 4]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Florida; 
Miscellaneous Changes

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the 
State of Florida through the Florida Department of Environmental 
Protection (FDEP) on May 1, 2015. This SIP revision seeks to make 
changes to the SIP to remove certain Stage I vapor control requirements 
and to make administrative changes to the SIP that would remove 
gasoline vapor control rules that no longer serve a regulatory purpose, 
including rules related to the Stage II vapor control requirements for 
new and upgraded gasoline dispensing facilities in Broward, Miami-Dade, 
and Palm Beach Counties (hereinafter referred to as the ``Southeast 
Florida Area''). EPA has preliminarily determined that Florida's May 1, 
2015, SIP revision is approvable because it is consistent with the 
Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). In the Final Rules Section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's implementation plan 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 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before September 11, 
2015.
