ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R10-OAR-2011-0799; FRL-9936-02-Region 10]

Air Plan Approval; OR; Portland, Medford, Salem; Clackamas,
Multnomah, Washington Counties; Gasoline Dispensing Facilities

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve three state implementation plan (SIP) revisions submitted by
the State of Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (Oregon or
ODEQ) and a specific portion of a fourth SIP submittal identified in a
supplementary letter. These SIP submittals primarily

include rule amendments related to control measures for volatile
organic compounds from gasoline dispensing facilities in the Portland-
Vancouver, Medford-Ashland, and Salem-Keizer Area Transportation Study
air quality management areas, as well as all of Clackamas, Multnomah,
and Washington counties. The EPA received the SIP submittals from the
ODEQ on February 5, 2009, November 1, 2010, May 25, 2011, and April 20,
2015, and the supplementary letter on September 18, 2015. The EPA is
proposing to approve the SIP submittals because they are consistent
with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (Act or CAA).

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 27, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For further information, please see the
direct final action, of the same title, which is located in the Rules
section of this Federal Register. The EPA is approving the State's SIP
revisions as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the EPA
views this as a noncontroversial SIP action and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the
preamble to the direct final rule. If the EPA receives no adverse
comments, the EPA will not take further action on this proposed rule.
    If the EPA receives adverse comments, the EPA will withdraw the
direct final rule and it will not take effect. The EPA will address all
public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.
The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this
time. Please note that if we receive adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, the EPA may adopt as final those
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

    Dated: September 25, 2015.
Michelle Pirzadeh,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 10.
