Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans: Rhode Island; VOC Regulations and RACT Determinations

Zusammenfassung

EPA is proposing to approve several State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Rhode Island. These revisions establish requirements for certain facilities which emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP revisions as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to that direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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 on this proposal. Any parties interested in commenting on this proposal should do so at this time.
