Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 72 / Monday, April 15, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 12. Energy Effects This action is not a ‘‘significant energy action’’ under Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use. 13. Technical Standards This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards. 14. Environment We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Management Directive 023–01 and 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 determined that this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves the establishment of a temporary safety zone. This rule is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2–1 of the Commandant Instruction. An environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination are 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 this rule.

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

SUMMARY: Due to the receipt of an adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing 
the February 19, 2013, direct final rule to approve Tennessee's

rule 1200-3-9-.01 to add a total of 17 compounds to the list of 
compounds excluded from the definition of ``Volatile Organic Compound'' 
(VOC). EPA is considering this comment and will address the comment in 
a subsequent action. EPA will not institute a second comment period on 
this action.

DATES: The direct final rule published at 78 FR 11583 on February 19, 
2013, is withdrawn as of April 15, 2013.

compounds excluded from the definition of VOC to be consistent with 
EPA's definition of VOC at 40 CFR 51.100(s). The SIP submittal was in

April 9, 1998 (63 FR 17331). These compounds were added to the 
exclusion list for VOC on the basis that they have a negligible effect 
on tropospheric ozone formation. In the direct final rule, EPA stated 
that if adverse comments were received by March 21, 2013, the rule 
would be withdrawn and not take effect. On March 21, 2013, EPA received 
a comment. EPA interprets this comment as adverse and, therefore, EPA 
is withdrawing the direct final rule. EPA will address the comment in a
