Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Texas; Revisions to Control Volatile Organic Compound Emissions From
Consumer Related Sources
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve Texas State Implementation Plan
(SIP) revisions. The revisions pertain to regulations to control
volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from consumer related
sources. The control of VOC emissions will help to attain and maintain
national ambient air quality standards for ozone in Texas. This
approval will make the revised regulations Federally enforceable.
DATES: Written comments should be received on or before March 14, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Mr. Thomas Diggs, Chief, Air
Planning Section (6PD-L), Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6,
1445 Ross Avenue, Suite 1200, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733. Comments may
also be submitted electronically or through hand deliver/courier by
following the detailed instructions in the ADDRESSES section of the
direct final rule located in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments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.
For additional information, see the direct final rule which is
located in the rules section of this Federal Register.
Dated: January 31, 2005.

Regional Administrator, Region 6.
