ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[PA-4147b; FRL-7040-3]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; NOX RACT Requirements for Four Individual
Sources in the Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley 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 to establish
and require reasonably available control technology (RACT) related
requirements to limit nitrogen oxides (NOX) from four
sources. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 on this action should 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 of that source or subset of
sources will be withdrawn.
DATES: Comments must be received in writing by September 21, 2001.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to David L. Arnold,
Chief, Air Quality Planning and Information Services Branch, Mailcode
