Regulation No. 7, ‘‘Emissions of Volatile
Organic Compounds,’’ Section XII,
‘‘Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
From Oil and Gas Operations.’’ EPA is
proposing to approve the revisions to
Regulation No. 7, Section XII. This
action is being taken under Section 110
of the Clean Air Act.
In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’
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 SIP revision and
anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set
forth in the preamble to the direct final
rule. If EPA receives no adverse
comments, EPA will not take further
action on this proposed rule. If EPA
receives adverse comments, EPA will
withdraw the direct final rule and it will
not take effect. EPA will address all
public comments in a subsequent final
rule based on this proposed rule. EPA
will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at
this time. Please note that if EPA
receives adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of the
rule and if that provision may be
severed from the remainder of the rule,
EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an
adverse comment.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before March 14, 2008.

Approval of Louisiana’s Petition To
Relax the Summer Gasoline Volatility
Standard for the Grant Parish Area
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve
the State of Louisiana’s request to relax
the federal Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP)
standard applicable to gasoline
introduced into commerce in the Grant
Parish 8-hour ozone attainment area
(Grant Parish) during the summer high
ozone season—June 1 to September 15
of each year. Grant Parish is a
designated attainment area under the 8hour ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (‘‘NAAQS’’) and is a
redesignated attainment area under the
1-hour ozone NAAQS. This action
amends our regulations to change the
summertime RVP standard for Grant
Parish from 7.8 pounds per square inch
(psi) to 9.0 psi. EPA has determined that
this change to our federal RVP
regulations is consistent with the
applicable provisions of the Clean Air
Act. Louisiana’s request is supported by
evidence that Grant Parish can
implement the 9.0 psi RVP standard and
maintain the 8-hour ozone NAAQS and
that relaxation of the applicable RVP
standard to 9.0 psi will provide
economic benefits.
