ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[R04-0AR-2003-FL-0001-200414(b); FRL-7643-2]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans: Florida;
Broward County Aviation Department Variance
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of Florida for the purpose of a
department order granting a variance from Rule 62-252.400 to the
Broward County Aviation Department. EPA believes that this proposed
revision to the SIP is approvable based on the June 23, 1993, EPA
policy memorandum entitled, Impact of the Recent Onboard Decision on
Stage II Requirements in Moderate Nonattainment Areas which indicates
that a Stage II program is not a mandatory requirement for areas
classified ``moderate'' or below, upon EPA's promulgation for On-board
Refueling Vapor Recovery systems.
In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is
approving the State's SIP revision 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 significant,
material, and adverse comments are received in response to this rule,
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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments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
rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this
document. Any parties interested in commenting on this document should
do so at this time.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before May 6, 2004.
