ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[PA183-4203b; FRL-7480-3]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; VOC and NOX RACT Determinations for Three
Individual Sources
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 to establish
and require reasonably available control technology (RACT) for three
major sources of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides
(NOX) located in Pennsylvania. The three major sources are:
Bethlehem Structural Products Corporation in Northampton County;
International Paper Company in Erie County; and National Fuel Gas
Supply in Jefferson County. In the Final Rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving Pennsylvania's SIP submittal as a direct
final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed 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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments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 June 2, 2003.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Makeba Morris,
Acting Branch Chief, Air Quality Planning & Information Services
Branch, Air Protection Division, 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 Environmental Resources, Bureau of Air

section of this 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.
Dated: March 31, 2003.
