ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[Region II Docket No. 133; NJ20-1-6709b; FRL-5218-4]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Gasoline
Volatility Regulation State of New Jersey
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of New Jersey which incorporates
into the New Jersey SIP revisions to Subchapter 25, ``Control and
Prohibition of Air Pollution by Vehicular Fuel.'' These revisions
include a modification to the State's volatility standard for vehicular
fuels and the addition of a procedure by which persons may apply for an
exemption from the Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) standard that allows the
use of gasoline which does not comply with that standard. This action
is necessary to keep the State's SIP consistent with changes to its
existing regulations. 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 revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the action is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to that direct
final rule no further activity is contemplated in relation to this
proposed 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in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 proposed rule. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 21, 1995.
ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: William S. Baker,
Chief, Air Programs Branch, Air and Waste Management Division,
Environmental Protection Agency, Region II Office, 26 Federal Plaza,
New York, New York 10278.
