ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[PA202-4400b; FRL-7474-3]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Philadelphia County, PA; Construction, Modification and Operation
Permit Programs
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to approve revisions to the
Philadelphia County portion of the Pennsylvania State Implementation
Plan (SIP). The revision approves Philadelphia County's regulations
governing the construction of new and modified sources and the
operation of existing sources of air pollution in the
[[Page 15139]]
County. EPA is approving this SIP revision in accordance with the
requirements of the Clean Air Act. In the Final Rules section of this
Federal Register, EPA is approving the Commonwealth'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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 April 28, 2003.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Makeba Morris,
Chief, Permits and Technical Assessment Branch, Mailcode 3AP11, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street,
