[Region II Docket No. 133; NJ20-1-6709b; FRL-5218-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Gasoline 
Volatility Regulation State of New Jersey

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of New Jersey which incorporates 
into the New Jersey SIP revisions to Subchapter 25, ``Control and 
Prohibition of Air Pollution by Vehicular Fuel.'' These revisions 
include a modification to the State's volatility standard for vehicular 
fuels and the addition of a procedure by which persons may apply for an 
exemption from the Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) standard that allows the 
use of gasoline which does not comply with that standard. This action 
is necessary to keep the State's SIP consistent with changes to its 
existing regulations. In the final rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the action 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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. The EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on this proposed rule. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 21, 1995.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: William S. Baker, 
Chief, Air Programs Branch, Air and Waste Management Division, 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region II Office, 26 Federal Plaza, 
New York, New York 10278.
