health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because the SIP is
not approved to apply in Indian country
located in the state, and EPA notes that
it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt
tribal law.

For
further information, please see the
direct final action, of the same title,
which is located in the Rules section of
this Federal Register. The EPA is
simultaneously approving the State’s
SIP revision as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the EPA
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 the EPA receives
no adverse comments, the EPA will not
take further action on this proposed
rule.
If the EPA receives adverse
comments, the EPA will withdraw the
direct final rule and it will not take
effect. The EPA will address all public
comments in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. The EPA
will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action
should do so at this time. Please note
that if we receive adverse comment on
an amendment, paragraph, or section of
this rule and if that provision may be
severed from the remainder of the rule,
the EPA may adopt as final those
provisions of the rule that are not the
subject of an adverse comment.

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The EPA is proposing to
approve a maintenance plan for the
Central Puget Sound area to maintain
the 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (NAAQS) through
2015. This plan was submitted by the
Washington Department of Ecology as a
revision to its State Implementation
Plan on January 10, 2008. The
maintenance plan for this area meets all
Clean Air Act requirements, and
demonstrates that the Central Puget
Sound area will remain in attainment
with the 1997 and 2008 ozone NAAQS
through 2015.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before June 2, 2014.

Regulation of Fuels and Fuel
Additives: 2013 Cellulosic Biofuel
Standard
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to revise the
2013 cellulosic biofuel standard
published on August 15, 2013. This
action follows from EPA having granted
two petitioners’ requests for
reconsideration of the 2013 cellulosic
biofuel standard. EPA granted
reconsideration because one of the two
companies that EPA expected to
produce cellulosic biofuel in 2013
announced soon after EPA signed its
final rule that it intended to produce
substantially lower volumes of
cellulosic biofuel in 2013 than it had
earlier reported to EPA. Since the
cellulosic biofuel standard was based on
EPA’s projection of cellulosic biofuel
production in 2013, EPA deemed this
new information to be of central
relevance to the rule, warranting
reconsideration. On reconsideration,
EPA is directed to base the standard on
the lower of ‘‘projected’’ production of
cellulosic fuel in 2013 or the cellulosic
biofuel applicable volume set forth in
the statute. Since data are available to
show actual production volumes for
2013, EPA’s ‘‘projection’’ and proposal
are based on actual cellulosic biofuel
production in 2013. This action only
affects the 2013 cellulosic biofuel
standard; all other RFS standards
remain unchanged. EPA is proposing a
revised cellulosic biofuel standard of
0.0005% for 2013. In the ‘‘Rules and
Regulations’’ section of this Federal
Register, we are making this same
amendment as a direct final rule. If we
receive no adverse comment, the direct
final rule will go into effect and we will
not take further action on this proposed
rule.
DATES: A request for a public hearing
must be received by May 19, 2014. If a
public hearing request is received, EPA
will publish a document in the Federal
Register indicating the time and place
for the hearing. If a public hearing is
held, written comments must be
received within 30 days after the date of
the hearing. If no public hearing is held
