ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[DE26-1-6940b; FRL-5320-2]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Delaware: Regulation 24, Control of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions
(VOC RACT Catch-Ups)
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the State of Delaware on December 19, 1994. The
revision consists of Sections 10, 11, 12, 44, 45, 47, 48, and 49 and
Appendices I, K, L and M to Regulation 24--``Control of Volatile
Organic Compound Emissions''. These regulations are necessary to
satisfy the Clean Air Act (CAA) and to support attainment and
maintenance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for
ozone in Delaware. In the Final Rules section of the Federal Register,
EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial SIP revision 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 proposed
rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. 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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn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 on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on
this action should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments must be submitted in writing by February 26, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Marcia L. Spink, Associate
Director, Air Programs, Mailcode 3AT00, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, Region III, 841 Chestnut Building, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
19107. Copies of the documents relevant to this action are available
for public inspection during normal business hours at the EPA office
listed above; and the Delaware Department of Natural Resources &
Environmental Control, 89 Kings Highway, P.O. Box 1401, Dover, Delaware
