ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[AZ 37-1-6592b; FRL-5099-6]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; Arizona
State Implementation Plan Revision
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Arizona State
Implementation Plan (SIP) which concern the control of emissions of
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the transfer of gasoline into
motor vehicle fuel tanks. On May 27, 1994, Arizona submitted a SIP
revision request to EPA to satisfy the requirement of section 182(b)(3)
of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act), which
requires all ozone nonattainment areas classified as moderate or worse
to require owners and operators of gasoline dispensing facilities to
install and operate stage II vapor recovery equipment. In the Rules
Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP
revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision amendment and
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for this approval
is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are
received in response to this proposed rule, no further activity is
contemplated in relation to this 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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. The EPA will not institute a second comment period
on this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this action
should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by
December 1, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to:
