SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard published an NPRM in the Federal Register of February 5, 2008, (73 FR 6642) which, among other things, proposed amending the regulatory requirements for vessel operators to establish and maintain evidence of financial responsibility. That document contained an incorrect effective date and was also unclear. This document corrects the preamble and regulatory text to the proposed rule to clarify the effective date and the distinction between the financial responsibility applicable amounts of § 138.80(f) and limits of liability in proposed Subpart B. In FR Doc. E8–1516, appearing on page 6642 in the Federal Register of Tuesday, February 5, 2008, the following corrections are made: Preamble [Corrected] 1. On page 6645, in the third column, after the reference to Section 138.85, remove the paragraph that states: ‘‘This new section of the proposed rule would establish an implementation schedule that would apply to the increased applicable amounts in Subpart B of this proposed rule, and whenever the financial responsibility applicable amounts under Subpart B are amended by regulation. This would occur in instances including, but not limited to, future regulatory changes mandated by statute, and when the limits of liability in proposed subpart B of this Part are amended to reflect significant increases in the Consumer Price Index pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 2704(d)(4).’’ and add, in its place, the following paragraph: ‘‘This new section of the proposed rule would establish an implementation schedule that would apply to the increased applicable amounts referenced in 138.80(f) of this proposed rule, and whenever the financial responsibility applicable amounts under § 138.80(f) are amended by regulation. This would occur in instances including, but not PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 limited to, future regulatory changes mandated by statute, and when the limits of liability in proposed subpart B of this Part are amended to reflect significant increases in the Consumer Price Index pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 2704(d)(4).’’ § 138.85 [Corrected] 2. On page 6654 in the first column, revise the proposed regulatory text for proposed § 138.85 to read as follows: § 138.85 Implementation Schedule The effective date of the applicable amounts referenced in § 138.80(f) of this part will be [INSERT DATE 120 DAYS AFTER PUBLICATION OF FINAL RULE IN THE Federal Register]. In the event an applicable amount referenced in § 138.80(f) is thereafter amended by regulation, the effective date of the amended applicable amount will be 120 days after publication of a final rule in the Federal Register, unless another date is required by statute and specified in the amending regulation. Each operator of a vessel described in § 138.15, must have established, on or before the effective date of the applicable amount including any amendments thereto, evidence of financial responsibility acceptable to the Director, NPFC, in an amount equal to or greater than the total applicable amount.’’ Dated: February 7, 2008.

ACTION: Proposed rule. pwalker on PROD1PC71 with PROPOSALS AGENCY: SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to take direct final action approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Colorado. On August 3, 2007, the Governor’s designee submitted revisions to Colorado’s VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:09 Feb 12, 2008 Jkt 214001 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.

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.
