ACTION: Proposed rule. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 Delaware for the purpose of approving Delaware’s adopted Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) Program. This program requires that new passenger cars, lightduty trucks, and medium-duty highway vehicles titled in Delaware meet stringent California emission standards in lieu of Federal emission standards. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving Delaware’s SIP submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. Delaware first adopted these standards in 2010 and has required compliance with Delaware LEV standards beginning with model year 2014 vehicles, and has recently updated its rules to reflect California’s third generation, or LEV III vehicle standards. Although already in effect in Delaware, this action serves to incorporate Delaware’s program into the Federal State Implementation Plan. If no adverse comments are received in response to this action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. DATES: Comments must be received in writing by November 13, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Along with this proposed rule, CPSC is 
publishing a direct final rule in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section 
of this issue of the Federal Register. This direct final rule clarifies 
when the component part testing can be used and clarifies which textile 
products have been determined not to exceed the allowable lead content 
limits. CPSC believes that the clarifications contained in the proposed 
rule are not controversial, and CPSC does not expect significant 
adverse comment. CPSC has explained the reasons for the clarifications 
in the direct final rule. Unless CPSC receives significant adverse 
comment regarding the clarifications during the comment period, the 
direct final rule in this issue of the Federal Register will become 
effective December 14, 2015, and CPSC will not take further action on 
this proposal. If a significant adverse comment is received for an 
amendment to only one of the two rules being revised in the direct 
final rule, CPSC will withdraw only the amendment to the rule that is 
the subject of a significant adverse comment. If CPSC receives a 
significant adverse comment, CPSC will publish a notice in the Federal 
Register withdrawing the direct final rule, and the rule will not take 
effect. CPSC will then respond to public comments in a later final 
rule, based on this proposed rule. CPSC does not intend to institute a 
second comment period on this action. Parties interested in commenting 
on this determination must do so at this time. For additional 
information, please see the direct final rule published in the ``Rules 
and Regulations'' section of this issue of the Federal Register.
