These security and safety zones provide for the regulation of vessel traffic in the vicinity of certain large passenger vessels (as defined in § 165.1318(b)) and exclude persons and vessels from the immediate vicinity of these large passenger vessels. On April 23, 2006, for passenger cruise ships only, the Captain of the Port Portland, Oregon will begin enforcing only the area of the Large Passenger Vessel Safety and Security Zones, established in 33 CFR 165.1318, from the mouth of the Columbia River PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 26419 at buoy 14 upriver to, and including, Astoria, OR.

ACTION: Partial withdrawal of direct final rule; correction. AGENCY: SUMMARY: On February 22, 2006, the EPA issued a direct final rule for the removal of the reformulated gasoline (RFG) oxygen content requirement and the revision of the RFG commingling prohibition to address non-oxygenated reformulated gasoline.

Regulation of Fuels and Fuel Additives: Removal of Reformulated 
Gasoline Oxygen Content Requirement and Revision of Commingling 
Prohibition To Address Non-Oxygenated Reformulated Gasoline; Partial 
Withdrawal; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Partial withdrawal of direct final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On February 22, 2006, the EPA issued a direct final rule for 
the removal of the reformulated gasoline (RFG) oxygen content 
requirement and the revision of the RFG commingling prohibition to 
address non-oxygenated reformulated gasoline. We stated in the direct 
final rule that if we received adverse comment by March 24, 2006, EPA 
would publish a timely withdrawal notice in the Federal Register 
informing the public that the portions of the rule on which adverse 
comment were received were withdrawn. We subsequently received adverse 
comment on the provisions designed to remove the oxygen content 
requirement for RFG and are, therefore, withdrawing those provisions. 
We will address the adverse comment in a subsequent final action based 
on the parallel proposal published on February 22, 2006 (71 FR 9070). 
As stated in the parallel proposal, we will not institute a second 
comment period on this action. The portions of the direct final rule 
that are not withdrawn (i.e., provisions relating to the commingling 
prohibition) will

[[Page 26420]]

become effective on May 5, 2006. We are also making one correction to 
the amendatory language in the February 22, 2006 direct final rule.

address non-oxygenated reformulated gasoline on February 22, 2006 (71 
FR 8973), and a parallel notice of proposed rulemaking (71 FR 9070)

notice in the Federal Register informing the public that the portions 
of the rule on which adverse comment were received were withdrawn. We

remove the RFG oxygen content requirement. Because EPA received adverse 
comment, we are withdrawing the following amendments to 40 CFR part 80 
that were in the direct final rule and which relate to the removal of 
the RFG oxygen content requirement and associated compliance 
requirements:
    Sec.  80.2(ii) (definition of reformulated gasoline credit);

    Sec.  80.128(e)(2) (alternative agreed upon procedures for refiners 
and importers);
    Sec.  80.129 (alternative agreed upon procedures for oxygenate 
blenders);
    Sec.  80.130(a) (agreed upon procedures reports);
    Sec.  80.133(h)(1) and (h)(4) (agreed upon procedures for refiners 
and importers); and
    Sec.  80.134 (agreed upon procedures for downstream oxygenate 
blenders).
    EPA published a parallel proposed rule on the same day as the 
direct final rule. We will address the adverse comment on the above-
listed sections in a subsequent final action based on the parallel 
proposal. As stated in the parallel proposal, we will not institute a 
second comment period on this action.
    The provisions of the direct final rule on which we did not receive 
adverse comment will become effective on May 5, 2006, as provided in 
the February 22, 2006 direct final rule.
