[EPA-R03-OAR-2010-0435; FRL-9237-8]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Delaware; Limiting Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds From
Portable Fuel Containers
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 77799]]
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the State of Delaware. This SIP revision includes
an amendment to Delaware's regulation for Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOC) from Consumer and Commercial Products, Section 3.0, Portable Fuel
Containers. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is
approving the State'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. 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 January 13, 2011.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID Number EPA-
R03-OAR-2010-0435 by one of the following methods:

Such deliveries are only accepted during the Docket's normal hours of
operation, and special arrangements should be made for deliveries of

Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-R03-OAR-
2010-0435. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included
in the public docket without change, and may be made available online
at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site
is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know your
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of
your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without
going through http://www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of
any defects or viruses.
Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the
http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such
as copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be
publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket
materials are available either electronically in http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy during normal business hours at the
Air Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region
III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. Copies of the
State submittal are available at the Delaware Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental Control, 89 Kings Highway, P.O. Box 1401,
Dover, Delaware 19903.
