ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[PA183-4195b; FRL-7230-9]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; VOC and NOX RACT Determinations for Hershey Chocolate USA
and Pennsylvania Power Company
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to establish and
require reasonably available control technology (RACT) for Hershey
Chocolate USA and Pennsylvania Power Company, New Castle Plant. Hershey
Chocolate USA is located in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania and is a major
source of nitrogen oxides (NOX). The Pennsylvania Power
Company's New Castle Plant is located in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania
and is a major source of NOX and volatile organic compounds
(VOC). In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is
approving the Commonwealth's SIP revision 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 on this action should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments must be received in writing by July 26, 2002.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to David L. Arnold,
Chief, Air Quality Planning and Information Services Branch, Mailcode
3AP21, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch
Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. Copies of the documents
relevant to this action are available for public inspection during
normal business hours at the Air Protection Division, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103; and the Pennsylvania Department of

400 Market Street, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17105.
