Download as PDF 35990 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 123 / Wednesday, June 25, 2008 / Proposed Rules U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress, through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards. Environment We have analyzed this proposed rule under Commandant Instruction M16475.lD which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have made a preliminary determination that this action is not likely to have a significant effect on the human environment. A preliminary ‘‘Environmental Analysis Check List’’ supporting this preliminary determination is available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact from the proposed rule.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to amend the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Category: Gasoline Dispensing Facilities, which EPA promulgated on January 10, 2008, and amended on March 7, 2008. The January 10, 2008 rule established national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for the facilities in the gasoline distribution (Stage I) area source category. This action only affects area source gasoline dispensing facilities with a monthly throughput of 100,000 gallons of gasoline or more. In this action, EPA is proposing to amend the pressure and vacuum vent valve cracking pressure and leak rate requirements for vapor balance systems used to control emissions from gasoline storage tanks at gasoline dispensing facilities. Newly constructed or reconstructed gasoline dispensing facilities must comply with the new vapor balance system requirements as explained in the parallel direct final rule published in today’s Regulations and Rules section of this Federal Register. DATES: Comments. Written comments must be received on or before August 11, 2008. Public Hearing. If anyone contacts EPA requesting to speak at a public hearing by July 7, 2008, a public hearing will be held on July 10, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Why is EPA issuing this proposed rule? This document proposes to take action on the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Category: Gasoline Dispensing Facilities. Based on our discussions with industry stakeholders, we have concluded that pressure and vacuum (PV) vent valves capable of meeting the requirements in entry 1.(g) of Table 1 to subpart CCCCCC in the January 10, 2008 final rule (73 FR 1916) are not currently manufactured and thus are not available to affected sources. Therefore, we are proposing to amend the PV vent valve cracking pressure and leak rate requirements for vapor balance systems used to control emissions from gasoline storage tanks at gasoline dispensing facilities. We have published a parallel direct final rule in the Regulations and Rules 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. Newly constructed or reconstructed gasoline dispensing facilities are proposed to comply with the new vapor balance system requirements as explained in the parallel direct final rule. Existing sources must comply with the new vapor balance system requirements by the compliance date contained in the January 10, 2008 final rule, which is January 10, 2011. The compliance dates for all other requirements in the January 10, 2008 final rule remain unchanged for both new and existing sources.

In this instance, we would address all public comments in any subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for 
Source Category: Gasoline Dispensing Facilities

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to amend the National Emission Standards for 
Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Category: Gasoline Dispensing 
Facilities, which EPA promulgated on January 10, 2008, and amended on 
March 7, 2008. The January 10, 2008 rule established national emission 
standards for hazardous air pollutants for the facilities in the 
gasoline distribution (Stage I) area source category. This action only 
affects area source gasoline dispensing facilities with a monthly 
throughput of 100,000 gallons of gasoline or more. In this action, EPA 
is proposing to amend the pressure and vacuum vent valve cracking 
pressure and leak rate requirements for vapor balance systems used to 
control emissions from gasoline storage tanks at gasoline dispensing 
facilities. Newly constructed or reconstructed gasoline dispensing 
facilities must comply with the new vapor balance system requirements 
as explained in the parallel direct final rule published in today's 
Regulations and Rules section of this Federal Register.

DATES: Comments. Written comments must be received on or before August 
11, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Why is EPA issuing this proposed rule? This document proposes to 
take action on the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants for Source Category: Gasoline Dispensing Facilities. Based 
on our discussions with industry stakeholders, we have concluded that 
pressure and vacuum (PV) vent valves capable of meeting the 
requirements in entry 1.(g) of Table 1 to subpart CCCCCC in the January 
10, 2008 final rule (73 FR 1916) are not currently manufactured and 
thus are not available to affected sources. Therefore, we are proposing 
to amend the PV vent valve cracking pressure and leak rate requirements 
for vapor balance systems used to control emissions from gasoline 
storage tanks at gasoline dispensing facilities. We have published a 
parallel direct final rule in the Regulations and Rules 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. Newly constructed or 
reconstructed gasoline dispensing facilities are proposed to comply 
with the new vapor balance system requirements as explained in the 
parallel direct final rule. Existing sources must comply with the new 
vapor balance system requirements by the compliance date contained in 
the January 10, 2008 final rule, which is January 10, 2011. The 
compliance dates for all other requirements in the January 10, 2008 
final rule remain unchanged for both new and existing sources.
    If we receive no adverse comment and no request for a public 
hearing on the parallel direct final rule, we will not take further 
action on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comment on a 
distinct portion of the direct final rule, we will withdraw that 
portion of the rule and it will not take effect. In this instance, we 
would address all public comments in any subsequent final rule based on 
this proposed rule.
    If we receive adverse comment on a distinct provision of the direct 
final rule, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register 
indicating which provisions we are withdrawing. The provisions that are 
not withdrawn will become effective on the date set out in the direct 
final rule, notwithstanding adverse comment on any other provision.
    We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this 
action. Any parties interested in commenting, must do so at this time.
