SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Why Is EPA Issuing This Proposed
Rule?
This document proposes to take
action on the standards of performance
for equipment leaks of VOC in the
SOCMI and Petroleum Refineries. We
have published a direct final rule
extending the stay of the provisions
under reconsideration and the stay of
the clarification of the definition of
process unit in the ‘‘Rules and
Regulations’’ section of this Federal
Register because we view this as a
noncontroversial action and anticipate
no adverse comment. We have
explained our reasons for this action in
the preamble to the direct final rule.
If we receive no adverse comment, we
will not take further action on this
proposed rule. If we receive adverse
comment, we will withdraw the direct
final rule and it will not take effect. We
would address all public comments in
any subsequent final rule based on this
proposed rule.
We do not intend to institute a second
comment period on this action. Any
parties interested in commenting must
do so at this time. For further
information, please see the information
provided in the ADDRESSES section of
this document.
II. Does This Action Apply to Me?

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Why Is EPA Issuing This Proposed Rule?
This document proposes to take action on the standards of
performance for equipment leaks of VOC in the SOCMI and Petroleum
Refineries. We have published a direct final rule extending the stay of
the provisions under reconsideration and the stay of the clarification
of the definition of process unit in the ``Rules and Regulations''
section of this Federal Register because we view this as a
noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse comment. We have
explained our reasons for this action in the preamble to the direct
final rule.
If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action
on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comment, we will withdraw
the direct final rule and it will not take effect. We would address all
public comments in any subsequent final rule based on this proposed
rule.
We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.
For further information, please see the information provided in the
ADDRESSES section of this document.
