This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking would have no such effect on State, local, or tribal governments, or the private sector. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Secretary hereby certifies that this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities as they are defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601–612. This notice provides additional information concerning the computer-based system that VA proposed to implement in its prior rulemaking notice. The additional information does not alone have any economic impact on small entities. Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 605(b), the supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking is exempt from the initial and final regulatory flexibility analysis requirements of sections 603 and 604.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by Texas on October 4, 2001. The revisions pertain 
to Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) requirements for gasoline. The revisions 
add exemptions to RVP requirements for research laboratories and 
academic institutions, competition racing, and gasoline that is being 
stored or transferred that is not used in the affected counties. The 
revisions also reduce record keeping requirements for retail gasoline 
dispensing outlets in the affected counties, and correct a 
typographical error. We are proposing approval of the revisions 
pursuant to section 110 and part D of the Federal Clean Air Act.

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before December 27, 
2006.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Mr. Thomas Diggs, Chief, Air 
Planning Section (6PD-L), Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as 
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 action 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
