AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard published in
the Federal Register of February 5,

corrects the preamble and regulatory
text to the proposed rule to clarify the
effective date and the distinction
between the financial responsibility
applicable amounts and limits of
liability.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast
Guard published an NPRM in the
Federal Register of February 5, 2008,
(73 FR 6642) which, among other things,
proposed amending the regulatory
requirements for vessel operators to
establish and maintain evidence of
financial responsibility. That document
contained an incorrect effective date
and was also unclear. This document
corrects the preamble and regulatory
text to the proposed rule to clarify the
effective date and the distinction
between the financial responsibility
applicable amounts of § 138.80(f) and
limits of liability in proposed Subpart B.
In FR Doc. E8–1516, appearing on
page 6642 in the Federal Register of
Tuesday, February 5, 2008, the
following corrections are made:
Preamble [Corrected]
1. On page 6645, in the third column,
after the reference to Section 138.85,
remove the paragraph that states: ‘‘This
new section of the proposed rule would
establish an implementation schedule
that would apply to the increased
applicable amounts in Subpart B of this
proposed rule, and whenever the
financial responsibility applicable
amounts under Subpart B are amended
by regulation. This would occur in
instances including, but not limited to,
future regulatory changes mandated by
statute, and when the limits of liability
in proposed subpart B of this Part are
amended to reflect significant increases
in the Consumer Price Index pursuant to
33 U.S.C. 2704(d)(4).’’ and add, in its
place, the following paragraph: ‘‘This
new section of the proposed rule would
establish an implementation schedule
that would apply to the increased
applicable amounts referenced in
138.80(f) of this proposed rule, and
whenever the financial responsibility
applicable amounts under § 138.80(f)
are amended by regulation. This would
occur in instances including, but not

limited to, future regulatory changes
mandated by statute, and when the
limits of liability in proposed subpart B
of this Part are amended to reflect
significant increases in the Consumer
Price Index pursuant to 33 U.S.C.
2704(d)(4).’’
§ 138.85 [Corrected]
2. On page 6654 in the first column,
revise the proposed regulatory text for
proposed § 138.85 to read as follows:
§ 138.85 Implementation Schedule
The effective date of the applicable
amounts referenced in § 138.80(f) of this
part will be [INSERT DATE 120 DAYS
AFTER PUBLICATION OF FINAL RULE
IN THE Federal Register]. In the event
an applicable amount referenced in
§ 138.80(f) is thereafter amended by
regulation, the effective date of the
amended applicable amount will be 120
days after publication of a final rule in
the Federal Register, unless another
date is required by statute and specified
in the amending regulation. Each
operator of a vessel described in
§ 138.15, must have established, on or
before the effective date of the
applicable amount including any
amendments thereto, evidence of
financial responsibility acceptable to the
Director, NPFC, in an amount equal to
or greater than the total applicable
amount.’’

Approval and Promulgation of Air
Quality Implementation Plans; State of
Colorado; Regulation No. 7, Section
XII, Volatile Organic Compounds From
Oil and Gas Operations
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with PROPOSALS
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to take
direct final action approving a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the State of Colorado. On
August 3, 2007, the Governor’s designee
submitted revisions to Colorado’s
VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:09 Feb 12, 2008 Jkt 214001
Regulation No. 7, ‘‘Emissions of Volatile
Organic Compounds,’’ Section XII,
‘‘Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
From Oil and Gas Operations.’’ EPA is
proposing to approve the revisions to
Regulation No. 7, Section XII. This
action is being taken under Section 110
of the Clean Air Act.
In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’
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 non-
controversial SIP revision and
anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set
forth in the preamble to the direct final
rule. If EPA receives no adverse
comments, EPA will not take further
action on this proposed rule. If EPA
receives adverse comments, EPA will
withdraw the direct final rule and it will
not take effect. EPA will address all
public comments in a subsequent final
rule based on this proposed rule. EPA
will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at
this time. Please note that if EPA
receives adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of the
rule and if that provision may be
severed from the remainder of the rule,
EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an
adverse comment.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before March 14, 2008.

Approval of Louisiana’s Petition To
Relax the Summer Gasoline Volatility
Standard for the Grant Parish Area
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve
the State of Louisiana’s request to relax
the federal Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP)
standard applicable to gasoline
introduced into commerce in the Grant
Parish 8-hour ozone attainment area
(Grant Parish) during the summer high
ozone season—June 1 to September 15
of each year. Grant Parish is a
designated attainment area under the 8-
hour ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (‘‘NAAQS’’) and is a
redesignated attainment area under the
1-hour ozone NAAQS. This action
amends our regulations to change the
summertime RVP standard for Grant
Parish from 7.8 pounds per square inch
(psi) to 9.0 psi. EPA has determined that
this change to our federal RVP
regulations is consistent with the
applicable provisions of the Clean Air
Act. Louisiana’s request is supported by
evidence that Grant Parish can
implement the 9.0 psi RVP standard and
maintain the 8-hour ozone NAAQS and
that relaxation of the applicable RVP
standard to 9.0 psi will provide
economic benefits.
