ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[PA-4152b; FRL-7050-2]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; VOC and NOX RACT Determinations for 14
Individual Sources in the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Trenton Area
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revisions submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the purpose
of establishing and requiring reasonably available control technology
(RACT) for 14 major sources of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and/or
nitrogen oxides ( NOX). These sources are located in the
Philadelphia-Wilmington-Trenton ozone nonattainment area. In the Final
Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the
Commonwealth's SIP revisions as a direct final rule without prior
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal
and anticipates no adverse comments. The 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and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 must do so at this
time. Please note that if adverse comment is received for a specific
source or subset of sources covered by an amendment, section or
paragraph of this rule, only that amendment, section, or paragraph for
that source or subset of sources will be withdrawn.
DATES: Comments must be received in writing by October 10, 2001.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to David L. Arnold,
Chief,
